SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College announces its fall 2021 family programs, both in-person and online every Saturday from Oct. 9 through Nov. 20:

• Family Saturdays: a series of in-person multigenerational creative collaborations at the Museum geared toward kids 5 and older with an adult companion, usually from 1 to 2:30 pm.

• Teen Open Studios: a series of in-person workshops in which Skidmore College Educator Interns lead teens from 13 to 18 in exploring and creating artworks in response to social justice ideas such as race, gender and identity, usually from 3 to 4:30 pm

• Tang at Home Studio: a series of online workshops that brings the Family Saturday experience into participant’s homes via Zoom. Session run from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m..

All programs include looking at art in an exhibition or from the Tang collection, discussing and sharing ideas, and engaging in a hands-on art activity inspired by those conversations. Fall exhibitions include Opener 33: Sarah Cain—Enter the Center, Ellsworth Kelly: Postcards, Elevator Music 41: Laura Ortman—Dust Dives Alive, and Un-Representation.

All programs are free and all materials are provided. Registration is required for all events, as space is limited. For the health and safety of all participants at in-person events, proof of vaccination is required for those 12 and older and masks are required for all regardless of vaccination status.

The Tang Teaching Museum is located on the campus of Skidmore College. For more information about the programs, call the Visitors Services Desk at 518-580-8080 or visit the Tang website at www.tang.skidmore.edu
