Join us for Art Alive, a drop-in gallery visit and art-making experience taking place every Thursday and Saturday. Each session, a practicing artist or artist educator focuses on a work on view in MAD’s current exhibitions, leading hands-on activities and engaging discussions geared towards an intergenerational audience.

This Thursday, artist-educator Hannah Heller will be on the floor of 45 Stories in Jewelry: 1947 to Now facilitating a project inspired by Hopi artist Charles Loloma's 1968 bracelet. Using mixed media materials, participants will create a wearable work of art that represents an aspect of their identity. 

Discussions and activities are ongoing, so visitors can join at any time between 4 and 6 pm and stay as long as they like. Art Alive is free with admission to MAD. The program is offered in accordance with the museum’s safe social-distancing practices and visitors must be masked at all times.
