Floor 1

Explore current exhibitions through drawing! Look closely at works of art and create experimental sketches inspired by what you see. Carmen Herrera often uses geometric shapes and contrasting colors to create artworks that have a strong visual energy. This month, visit Carmen Herrera: Lines of Sight and other works on view to discover the power of abstraction.

This program has been developed specifically for kids ages 6 to 10. Siblings are welcome to join the group but must have a ticket.
