Second Saturdays Are for Families You’ve Got Mail

Who doesn’t love a mailbox surprise? Join special guests Parents Climate Community and Stephanie Chavez Noell as we create a community art quilt entitled “Dear Me,” which will be on display at The Very ‘Rary. Become a top-secret pen pal with invisible ink then stop by the stationary station to send a letter to someone special (stamps while supplies last!). Join us on the second Saturday of every month for a fun and creative art-making experience at The Contemporary Austin! The whole family is invited to explore new materials, techniques, and ideas together.
