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 Saturday, 2020 Artist Resident Kazue Taguchi will be on the floor of 45 Stories in Jewelry: 1947 to Now, facilitating an activity inspired by Wendy Ramshaw and David Watkins’ Paper Jewels (1968). Participants will learn how to create handmade paper beads using traditional techniques.

Discussions and activities are ongoing, so visitors can join at any time between 12 pm and 2 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.
