Stop by the Walker to learn about art in the exhibition Julie Mehretu, explore the galleries with a scavenger hunt, watch a fun, family friendly short film, and grab an art kit to get creative with inspiration from works at the Walker.
On Free First Saturdays we require visitors over the age of 2 to wear face masks inside the building to support the safety and comfort of families and attendees. We ask that you continue to maintain a minimum distance of 6 feet away from people not in your household group.
Art Kits
Get creative with projects inspired by artworks from the exhibition Julie Mehretu and around the Walker! Each kit will contain instructions and all the materials you need to create your own artwork. For ages 4 and up, young children will need some help from an adult. Quantities are limited, available in English and Spanish.
Art kits will be available for pickup in the Walker’s Main Lobby. Entry to the galleries is not required to pick up an art kit.
Film Screening
Stop by the Bentson Mediatheque to watch a short film! The film will loop throughout the day between 10 am and 3 pm; capacity is limited to 10 people at a time. This is a relaxed screening. All ages.
For Estefani, Third Grade, Who Made Me a Card
A third-grade student makes a cryptic card for her teacher in art class. Brooklyn-based illustrator and animator Jordan Bruner brings to life New York poet Aracelis Girmay’s poem responding to her student’s beautiful and urgent message. (Jordan Bruner, 2019, animated, 3 min. Created with TED Education.)
