Glitter 'n' Horns

Gallery admission is free for everyone on the first Saturday of each month. Families can enjoy live performances, films, gallery adventures, and hands-on art-making from 10 am–3 pm. Activities recommended for ages 6–12.

Celebrate the art of the everyday with activities inspired by the exhibition The Spectacular of Vernacular. Get a last look at the show before it closes (May 8); listen to the latest hit music played on mandolins, clogs, and fiddles; build a structure with artist Chris Larson—whose elevated bridge in Cargill Lounge has quickly become a favorite for all ages; and watch an artist use seeds to re-create favorite works from the Walker collection.
