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, artist educator Duneska Michel will be on the floor of 45 Stories in Jewelry: 1947 to Now facilitating a jewelry making activity based on Peter Chang’s Untitled (bracelet). Putting into practice the concept of biomimicry, participants will create uniquely patterned jewelry drawing inspiration from aquatic life.

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