From Monday, February 18 through Friday, February 22, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), hosts the Cogan Family Foundation Vacation Week Adventures highlighting fiber and textile arts. Activities during the week include an artist demonstration, art-making activities, and tours focusing on textile and fiber arts ranging from silk to straw.

Families can create a tapestry that tells a story, weave with burlap, and make an original piece of art using recycled materials. Special presenters include local artist Catherine Weller, who will lead a basketry demonstration, and storyteller Laura Ziman, who will entertain younger children in the galleries. Family Gallery Talks with Museum educators will also take place throughout the week.
