Family Day invites young visitors to explore paintings by Kay Sage and Yves Tanguy and then immerse themselves in the Surrealist creative process through collaborative word and picture games.

Held in conjunction with the special exhibition Double Solitaire: The Surreal Worlds of Kay Sage and Yves Tanguy, Family Day invites young visitors to explore the works on view and then immerse themselves in the Surrealist creative process through collaborative word and picture games.

Fun activities, based on the creative accident, include “calligramme” (poems in which words take the shape of an object), “coulage” (sculptures created by pouring hot materials into cold water), and “cubomania” (images cut up into squares and rearranged to create nonsensical compositions).

Come for the entire event or drop in when you can -- all are welcome!
