Contemporary Kids: My Chess, My Rules

Join us for the Chess making Workshop inspired by Marcel Dzama’s exhibition Ghosts of Canoe Lake. 

This hands-on workshop invites kids to design their own custom chess boards, create whimsical pieces, and invent fun new rules—like a king who loves to cook or a knight who enjoys dancing. Inspired by Marcel Dzama’s video work, children will reimagine traditional chess, using their creations to tell unique stories and infuse the game with humor, fantasy, and personal flair. 

 

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 30 children, with one guardian per child.
