Enjoy Café Clementine while you make some art or browse the MFA Shop for art-centric books, gifts, and art supplies to take more art home with you. This month’s activity will feature the latest special exhibition, Nina Yankowitz: In the Out/Out the In. If you don’t have the chance to visit the exhibition, learn about it through Studio Saturday! Nina Yankowitz combines visual art mediums, human senses, and other forms of art in her own work.
