Contemporary Kids: When Life Gives us Lemons... We will Paint!

Join us for an “invisible ink” painting workshop inspired by Entwined, a group exhibition exploring natural and manufactured materials across different artistic mediums. Using lemon juice as a natural paint, kids will explore patterns, textures, and mark-making—and watch their hidden art come to life!

Friendly reminder: This workshop uses lemon and citron juice, which has a strong scent and may cause mild skin irritation.

What to expect: The session begins with a 25-minute guided tour of selected works from Entwined, followed by a hands-on art-making activity.

 

Our Free on-site 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 30 children, with one guardian per child.
