Artists like Alma Thomas often worked on their artistic compositions to the tunes of their favorite musicians. Immerse yourself in the creative process as you listen to the rich music soundtracks that directly inspired her art and its unique visual rhythm. In this drop-in artmaking activity, we invite you to repeat elements like line, shape, and colors with varied spacing in the form of a ripped paper collage.  

From 4–7:30 p.m. 
Help us build our next display! Flock to the Cunningham Center to "Birds of a Feather: The Pop-up" to vote for your favorite bird-themed artworks from the SCMA collection. The community’s top choices will go on view this fall in a final installation in the Cunningham Corridor.
