Make-and-Take Art Day at the New York State Museum

Drop in, get creative, and leave with your own work of art! In this hands-on, all-ages experience, local artists-in-residence at Arlene’s Artist Materials, Casey Beal and Ottavia Huang, invite you to explore watercolor painting and block printing inspired by objects and stories from the museum’s collections. With no experience needed, this relaxed, come-and-go activity is perfect for curious beginners, families, and seasoned creatives alike. Experiment with color, texture, and pattern as you transform simple materials into something uniquely your own. Stop by for a few minutes or stay awhile. Your masterpiece awaits!

This special event is proudly sponsored by the New York State Museum and invites visitors of all ages to create hands‑on art inspired by creativity, community, and exploration.
