Action Mobiles

Sunday Drop-In

Exhibition Galleries

Ages 3 & up

Inspired by the exhibition Ben Shahn, On Nonconformity, design a sculptural mobile that illustrates ways to help your family and community. Express these thoughtful actions through drawings and words, then string them together to display in your home or sukkah.

Explore new themes twice a month 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 18 and under are free.

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