Patterns and Printmaking
A special two-hour workshop for families

Kids and their favorite adults are invited to join us for guided tours through Spertus Museum’s Open Depot and the special exhibition A Force for Change: African American Art and the Julius Rosenwald Fund, then to use their experience in the galleries as inspiration in an art-making workshop.

We'll look closely at the different patterns and prints in the galleries and then design and ink up our own prints.

Best for children ages 5+. Adults will participate in the workshop.
$7 for adults, $5 for children, free for children under 5 and Spertus members. Reservations requested. Please call 312.322.1773.
