Tang Teaching Museum Announces Tang at Home Studio for Summer 2020

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College invites kids and their families to an all-new four-week summer art-making series: Tang at Home Studio. 

This series, which opens for registration on Monday, July 13, will take place online and brings the Tang Museum experience into the community, gives young art-makers the chance to explore their creativity, make new things, and share their artwork online.  Each week includes an at-home art project and a real-time online gathering led by Tang Museum Educator Sunny Ra. 

How does it work?

Each Monday morning registrations open up on the Tang website. Everyone will have all week to explore, learn, and create. Then on Friday from 2 – 3 p.m., all will gather online via Zoom for more activities and to share creations.  To ensure a fun sharing environment, registration is required and the number of participants will be limited. The live Friday sessions are best suited for kids ages 5 to 12 and their adult companions, but everyone is welcome.   

How do I register?

Registration is free. A link to register will be posted on the Tang website each Monday for that week’s events. You will be asked for your name, the number of participants, the name or names of your child or children, their ages, your ZIP code, and the name of that week’s activity. Once you register, you will receive project instructions, a list of materials, and a link to Friday’s Zoom meeting. Register early, as space is limited.

SCHEDULE – Week 1: Abstract Shadow Drawing. Week 2: Dance with Beehive. Week 3: Fluttering Butterflies. Week 4: Wrapped in Tradition.
