Museum Uncrated: My kid can do that!

December 13, 2023, 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm

My kid can do that, the connection between kindergarten and how it led to abstract art

Have you ever thought, “My kid could do that” after seeing abstract or contemporary art? That may be true now, but there was a time when they probably couldn’t. Come explore how the development of kindergarten drastically changed perspectives and led to the origins of abstract art. Free.

Museum Uncrated: Do you wish to feel more comfortable in a museum or desire more from your museum experience? Plains Art Museum staff invites you to join them each month to learn about the inner workings of a museum and artwork. Each session promises insightful and significant takeaways for participants.

Generous support for this project provided by Art Bridges.
