Bring the whole family for our second Kids & Family Day, an afternoon of hands-on fun inspired by our bold and colorful exhibition A Living Canvas.

The art-making workshop is led by Ukrainian-born American artist Irina Rodnikoff. Right in the exhibition gallery, kids are invited to create a shared artwork, drawing inspiration from the patterns, lines, geometry, and storytelling of the works on view. The finished piece will be auctioned by Liberty Ukraine, with all proceeds going to humanitarian and frontline medical aid to support Ukraine.

There’s more to explore. Set off on a scavenger hunt through the galleries, then head to the craft stations for painting, sculpture, collage, and more.

About the exhibition:
A Living Canvas: The Ukrainian Museum at 50 (on view through November 7) shows how closely fine art and folk art have always been intertwined in Ukrainian culture. Arranged by theme rather than by date, the exhibition places paintings beside kilims, embroidered rushnyky (ritual cloths), costumes, and ceramics, so that shared color, pattern, and rhythm come into view. It is a joyful place for young visitors to look closely and find connections.

Best for ages 3-12, and everyone is welcome. Drop in anytime between 1 and 4 pm. $5 per family member.
