Contemporary Kids: Listening Spaces-Sound Workshop with Musician

Join us for a special sound workshop with musician Yuan Ge, inspired by the exhibition Presence. In this interactive session, Yuan will share his journey as a musician—how a melody can start with just one note and grow into something that fills the space and connects with the people in it. Kids will explore how sound helps us stay grounded in the moment, and team up with Yuan and each other to create a unique soundscape. 

No experience needed—just bring your curiosity about space and sound, and get ready to rock out with some awesome guitar vibes!

Our free onsite Contemporary Kids programs invite children to learn about modern and contemporary art through unique and engaging art activities. 

For children ages 5-12. Maximum group of 20 children, with one guardian per child.
