Be a part of collaborative projects such as a Community Independence Textile with the Elegba Folklore Society and participate in hands-on art activities like creating an Ethiopian Black-Maned Lion Collage and or designing an Ethopian metal pendant.

Become an artist for the day while exploring art objects, art activities, and performances and entertainment related to VMFA’s collection and special exhibitions. Activities are recommended for children ages 3–12. Children must be accompanied by an adult. All ages welcome.
