Family Sundays
Crowning Attributes
Sunday, 11.27.22
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Ages 3 and older with accompanying adults
Family Sundays are in person at the Rubin! Bring your family to the Mandala Lab on the third floor for an afternoon of creativity and self-exploration that both kids and grown-ups will enjoy.
Reservation is required for the 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM time slots. The program is free for your family, and each ticket comes with free access to the Museum galleries. Each month we explore a new theme, with an art-making activity centered around that theme. A Museum educator does a brief demonstration of the project, teaches the art-making techniques, and lets you explore ways to make the project your own.
November Family Sundays: Crowning Attributes
What positive attributes do you want to bring to the world or share with others? Bodhisattvas embody compassion, love, power, wisdom, and determination, which they use to help others. The crowns that they wear are symbolic of these positive qualities. Use the bodhisattvas at the Rubin as inspiration to create an artwork that symbolizes your own Crowning Attributes!
