Join us this summer as we explore the world through art! Every day at the MFA is filled with time exploring the galleries, learning with MFA staff and other local experts, creating art, playing games, and making new friends and memories. Pop, cut, smash, create! Join us in the lab as we experiment with art-making and transform everyday items into extraordinary artworks. Find inspiration in the galleries as we learn about new artists each day from around the world and throughout history. All week long, we’ll explore unique ways to create–from unusual materials to unexpected methods. Build, break, melt, and shake your way through the artistic process as you bring your own artistic vision to life in the Art Lab!
