MCD Library MakeArt: Park Open House
October 19 @ 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM
The Park Branch’s Open House connects community and library – bringing people into the shared space, collaborating with local organizations, and getting the neighborhood excited about reading.
MCD is excited to partner with the library and creatively activate the space! Inspired by our current exhibition Neon as Soulcraft, our MakeArt activation is designed to shed light on the neon bending process. Benders use blow hoses to blow air into hot glass tubes, allowing the melted glass to keep its round shape. Harness the power of your own breath to create unique works of art!
Join us at the colorful MakeArt van for in-person crafting or take home a FREE MakeArt Kit and museum admission!
FREE event and drop-in activity, all ages are welcome.
Funding for the Museum of Craft and Design’s MakeArt programs is provided by the special interest license plate featuring the image of Snoopy, with permission and support from Peanuts Worldwide (Section 5169 of the Vehicle Code) for the Museum Grant Program under the California Cultural and Historical Endowment. Additional support for MakeArt is made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
