Create Playdate | May 2025
Featuring our mobile, in-gallery art cart, Create Playdate offers young artists a hands-on maker experience during their visit. Participation is always free with general admission and open to all.
Inspired by the annual migration of monarch butterflies from Canada to Mexico, Carlos Amorales conceived Black Cloud as a “swarm” of moths that take over museum spaces, rising to envelop the viewer. Made up of 25,000 black paper moths and butterflies of 30 different species, the installation forms a surreal, yet sublime gathering of insects delicately poised in sculptural formations. Visitors will create their own black paper moth and butterfly covered artwork.
Create Playdate is included in General Admission and no registration is required. Drop in any Saturday in May:
Saturday, May 31 | 11 am - 3 pm
Create Playdate is made possible by First Things First, The Discount Tire Endowment for Children’s Art Programs, and the William Randolph Hearst Endowed Fund for Education Programs.
