Family Program: To Avoid Drowning, Become the Ocean
Saturday, August 15 | 10–11 AM
Join us for the first in a new series of family programs at The Luminary, created for children ages 1–6 and their caregivers.
Over the years, many of the artists, supporters, and collaborators who make up The Luminary's community have become parents. This new series is one small way we're creating space for them and for a new generation to experience art together.Held during the closing weekend of Sam Hamilton's exhibition, To Avoid Drowning, Become the Ocean, this free program invites families to explore the exhibition together through stories, sounds, movement, and making.
We'll read a picture book inspired by the ocean, listen to Hamilton's immersive sound installation, move our bodies together, and finish with a collaborative drawing activity designed for children and caregivers to create side by side.
Led by a trained art and museum educator, this playful, developmentally appropriate program offers a welcoming introduction to contemporary art through imagination, exploration, and shared creativity. Free and open to all. Registration is highly encouraged.
