Details | Drop-in for an artmaking adventure inspired by our 50th birthday. Join Hirshhorn educators for interactive, hands-on activities inspired by a monumental artwork on a monumental milestone. We’re highlighting artist Mark Bradford and his monumental masterpiece, Pickett's Charge. Open Studio activities will unravel Bradford's creative process, his materials, and what inspires him to make art. Program Schedule: Ongoing artmaking, lower level - Collaborative artmaking: Help us create a large-scale painting with paper inspired by Mark Bradford’s artistic process as an extra special 50th birthday present to the Hirshhorn!
- Paint with paper: Make your own miniature artwork incorporating photos, paper, rope, and more to take home.
- Open Play activities for kids: Build structures with blocks, make art with lines and layers, read and play.
Fifty is too big a birthday for one day, or one cake. So, inspired by our “concrete doughnut”, we’re partnering with four fine bakeries: Rose Avenue Bakery; Founding Farmers Co. Catering & Events; Astro Doughnuts and Just Fine Donuts. Between Thursday Oct. 3 and Sunday, Oct. 6, one bakery will provide 50 donuts to be distributed, one per person, at 10 am, with visitors until all have been shared with visitors.Thursday, Oct. 3: Rose Ave Bakery Friday, Oct. 4: Founding Farmers Co. Catering & Events Saturday: Oct. 5: Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken Sunday, Oct. 6: Just Fine Donuts |
