This “Art Encounters” session encourages you to take part in a collaborative weaving activity inspired by craft artist Tanya Aguiñiga, whose work is on view in the exhibition Mending: Craft and Community—Selections from the Museum’s Collection.

During this transformational act, common furniture such as a ladder, table, or chair, takes the place of a loom. You become the artist by wrapping and weaving yarn around the objects. You choose where the weaving begins and ends! Come out to learn about Aguiñiga’s unique perspective on craft, community, and textural landscapes.

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

► Plan ahead for your visit with parking information.
