Family Programs at the Museum of the City of New York

Workshops at the museum, for ages 6 through 12, usually combine looking, learning and making. On Saturday “Print Power” will encourage young participants to make a statement. After drawing inspiration from the museum shows “Activist New York” and “Everything Is Design: The Work of Paul Rand,” they’ll create graphic posters to express their own ideas. On Sunday “Finger Knitting Fun” will include instruction in this craft and exposure to the ways New Yorkers have used it. (Yarn will be provided.) And Columbus Day will be all about collage, as young visitors learn about the crops the Lenape Indians harvested here centuries ago and then make their own mosaics using materials like corn.
