Please join the Museum of Fine Arts every second Saturday of each month for a free artmaking activity! The MFA will host a casual pop-up studio station in the Mary Alice McClendon Conservatory to make art to take home and to interact with members of your community. 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. September 14th is National Live Create Day, an observed holiday to encourage creativity in our everyday lives. As you visit Café Clementine or the MFA Shop in the museum’s conservatory on Saturday, September 13th, stop by the free pop-up studio station to insert a bit of creativity into your day to celebrate. We will have an array of materials to choose from, with an open mindset of making art for yourself to take home.
