SARATOGA SPRINGS — Family Saturday programming at the Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College continues May 13 at 2 p.m. with Family Saturday: Decorating Frames.

After viewing photographs in the Tang collection by artist Malick Sidibé, with painted glass frames by Checkna Touré, participants will take Polaroid pictures and create their own decorative frames. See Sidibé’s 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.

The May 13 Family Saturday is the last of the spring season. Future Family Saturdays will be June, July, and August. For more information, visit the Tang website at https://tang.skidmore.edu or contact the Tang Visitors Services Desk at 518-580-8080.
