For families
Join Whitney educators for free weekly online art classes this summer. Participants will experiment, create, and learn together with at-home art materials.
In the 2017 Whitney Biennial, Raúl de Nieves covered a huge window with everyday materials like paper, wood, glue, and thin, colored plastic sheets. This created a magical effect, like stained glass. He even included a fly, and the words "peace", "love", "truth," "justice," "harmony," and "hope" in his installation. Now it’s your turn! This week you will make your own giant artwork on a window that includes your own images and message.
