Family Day: Building Sunflower Stalks

  • April 07, 2018
  • 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
  • Smart Museum of Art, University of Chicago

Drop by and join in the Smart’s free family activities every month! Each Family Day features hands-on art activities designed to inspire children to think about and respond creatively to art and the world around them.


This Saturday, focus on building, construction, and architecture! Learn how to use wooden peg carpentry techniques inspired by the work of Emmanuel Pratt and Sweetwater Foundation, build a large structure out of sunflower stalks provided by Rita Alvarez and Kathy Fitzgerald and the Sunflower Project, and play and build with blocks of all sizes.


FREE, all materials provided. Activities best for kids ages 4–12, accompanied by an adult. Click here for complete details.
