Create a fantastical wish container to hold your hopes for the new fall season and the upcoming Jewish New Year. Use wire, colorful tape, beads, paper, and drawing materials to transform a container. Draw inspiration from expressive forms in the artwork Masinekele Let us Give by South African artist Jeremiah Maloi—a sculptural object which focuses on the concept of tzedakah, or charity.

Explore new themes in these drop-in art workshops. Paint, draw, sculpt, or craft a work of art inspired by exhibitions on view. 

Free with Museum Admission; children are free.

This is a drop-in program and no registration is required.
