Free Family Sundays: Getting Around Baltimore

Meet us in the new Joseph Education Center Studio to make a collage inspired by Ernie Barnes’ painting Bus Stop (1974), on view in the Contemporary Wing. This painting shows the mad dash to catch a bus as storm clouds gather overhead. How do you get around Baltimore? Cut, gather, and glue pieces of paper to create a collage that shows how you travel around.

This program will be led by Kim Tyson, Teaching Assistant at the Baltimore Museum of Art. Free Family Sundays is a drop-in, art-making workshop designed for families with children ages 6 to 9 years old.
