MassArt welcomes families and friends of all ages to our second semi-annual Family Day in the Bakalar and Paine galleries. Admission is free and materials are provided, so drop in any time to enjoy guided conversations, art-making projects, interactive activities, and refreshments. Activities will be structured around the exhibitions Mary McFadden: Goddesses, featuring contemporary and historic fashion designs, and Dog Days Bogotá by Alec Soth, a series of photographs made for his adopted daughter about her native city.
Alongside the McFadden exhibition, the Mary McFadden Project Room will be abuzz with demonstrations by MassArt students. Visitors will be invited to embroider, bead, quilt, and hand paint their own designs, learn how to wrap turbans and saris, or have ribbons braided into their hair.
