Join artist educator Shaunté Glover for a hands-on workshop creating polaroid portraits inspired by exhibition Guarding the Art: A Frontline Perspective. Guided by Glover’s expertise, participants will explore the relationship between people and art, capturing their own meaningful moments through portraiture.  

Family Studio is a collaborative workshop for children ages eight and up and their parents or caregivers to experience and make art together. Glover will guide you through the technical aspects of polaroid portraiture, while sharing insights into the artistic value of this unique medium. Each workshop includes a conversation in the galleries, followed by a hands-on studio art session. Whether you’re a photography enthusiast or simply looking for a memorable family activity, this event promises enjoyment for all ages.  

Workshop includes all art-making materials, instruction, and general admission into the museum. All children must be accompanied by a parent or caregiver.
