Family Day: Filling the Paige

February 8, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

A three quarter portrait of a male figure with afro and beard surrounded by colorful, crowded text letters.
Gerald Williams, Wake Up, 1970. Acrylic on canvas with applied paper, 42” x 28.” The Smart Museum of Art, The University of Chicago, Purchase, The Paul and Miriam Kirkley Fund for Acquisitions, 2017.7.

Discover how artists create their work in unexpected ways. For example, Robert Earl Paige, whose work is currently on view at the Smart Museum in Robert Earl Paige: Give the Drummer Some!, uses wax resist and ink to create bold patterns; Barabara Jones-Hogu uses printmaking techniques to explore colorful text in their work; while Gerald Williams creates similar effects using paint and paper. Participants are invited to experiment with pattern, printing, and repetition using each of these unique art making techniques. Drop in; all families and kids of all ages are welcome.
