SECOND SATURDAYS FOR FAMILIES: Craft Connections

ACTIVITIES 10AM–2PM | FREE ADMISSION ALL DAY

Roll up your sleeves for art-making activities inspired by National Craft Month. Join a docentled tour of the collection and learn how makers drew inspiration from nature and local materials; then be inspired by the works on view and create a one-of-a-kind wooden artwork. Watch artists from Hartford Stitch contribute to the America’s Tapestry project, a community project celebrating untold stories of the original 13 colonies during the American Revolution. Grab a complimentary bag of popcorn and stay for a free screening of The Inventor at 2pm.
