MOCACREATE: Mapping My World with Teaching Artist Ryan Tran
September 13, 2025, 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Become an expert cartographer! Experiment with squeegee art and paper cut-outs to make brilliant patterns and test out your mapmaking skills. Whether you want to design a map of your neighborhood or your local park, join teaching artist Ryan Tran (on 9/13) and a MOCA educator (on 9/27) in using acrylic paint, construction paper, and other materials to make a decorated collage of your favorite places.
Paint, build, craft, and collage with us! Inspired by the museum’s exhibitions and local artists, MOCACREATE explores different themes every month. MOCACREATE workshops are designed with families in mind, but all are welcome!
