SARATOGA SPRINGS — A series of Family Saturday programs continues at 2 p.m. on April 1 at the Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College. 

After viewing works in the Tang collection by legendary artist and designer Corita Kent (1918–1986), participants will be invited to create their own posters using stencils, stamps, paint, and more. See more of her work in the 2013 Tang exhibition Someday is Now: The Art of Corita Kent and browse her work in the Tang collection online.

Family Saturdays, which are suitable for children 5 and older accompanied by an adult, aim to foster multigenerational creative cooperation through looking at artwork, discussing it, and engaging in a hands-on art-making activity. The programs run from 2 to 3:30 pm and are free and open to the public. No registration required; supplies provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

Family Saturdays continue April 15, April 29, and May 13. For more information, visit the Tang website at tang.skidmore.edu or contact the Tang Visitors Services Desk at 518-580-8080.
