The Phillips Plays
Sculptural Paintings
Bring your family to investigate materials, methods, and ideas in art.
Inspired by Sam Gilliam’s chromatic drape paintings, create mixed-media sculptures that play with space and explore the capabilities of color. A family-friendly tour of Breaking It Down: Conversations from the Vault will be offered at 11 am.
In addition to exploring art materials and methods in the studio, families may enjoy the carpeted, creative-play area with blocks, books, toys, and games.
