ART-MAKING ACTIVITIESSoundsuit Hand Dancers1:00–5:00 p.m. | Studio A (Upper Level)

Nick Cave’s human-shaped sculptures, called soundsuits, are often made from everyday materials such as beads, buttons, and old toys. When worn by performers, these soundsuits come alive as instruments of creative expression. Create your own mini-soundsuit on a hand dancer, with a wild array of art materials.

My Disguise1:00–5:00 p.m. | Studio B (Upper Level)

Many of us have encountered face-painting at fairs or on holidays, but have you ever tried your own hand at it? Just like Nick Cave, whose artwork can conceal its wearers, you can create your own disguise. Join us to transform your face, giving yourself a new identity! Parental assistance suggested for ages 8 and younger.

Sound Bangles1:00–5:00 p.m. | Studio C (Upper Level)

Performance art combines visual art with drama, dance, or some other type of physical performance to create a special experience for the viewer. Nick Cave’s performance art pieces are often a stunning combination of sound, movement, and color. Create a wearable musical instrument for your own home performances.

Martin ArtQuest® Gallery1:00–5:30 p.m. | Upper Level

Visit the Martin ArtQuest Gallery to experiment with a variety of exciting hands-on art activities. Create a watercolor painting, take a spin on our printing press, and enjoy additional art-making activities with your family.
