This Art Encounters session encourages you to transform recycled furniture into works of art, inspired by the exhibition Beatriz González: A Retrospective.

Beatriz González created powerful and responsive works of art that often referenced domestic space and her Colombian heritage. “Collaging Space” looks to González’s creative process.

For this evening’s project, look for ideas in newspapers and recycled food boxes, and select images or passages of text from them. Then collage and paint onto the surfaces of communal furniture pieces.

Drop in! This program is free. On Thursdays, Museum general admission is free, courtesy of Shell Oil Company.

► Plan ahead for your visit with parking information.
