This Saturday, June 19th, join us for the second Make & Mend session, 'Crafting with the Artists', of the Color Duets Virtual Drop-in Workshops!

Award-winning Color Duets artist Erin Lee Gafill welcomes mending expert and textile activist Jaki Canterbury to the virtual round table. Cultivating connection through the actions of making and repair, the duo will lead a casual, organic group experience and gracious space.

The emphasis will be on textile arts with a gentle focus on stitching and handcrafts, but participants practicing all art forms are welcome to join one, some, or all of these making events. This is an opportunity to unearth your mending pile and patch that pair of jeans, start a watercolor painting, or knit some rows on an ongoing project—all in the company of friends!

During each session, Erin and Jaki will cultivate group-led conversation, offer informal mentorship, and create space for optional skill-sharing via virtual break-out rooms. Come create together!

Family art time this Saturday! Join us for the first Together/Apart session of the Color Duets Virtual Drop-in Workshops! Registration is required for this FREE workshop!

Award-winning Color Duets artist Erin Lee Gafill and her husband, artist and producer Tom Birmingham, present a creative immersion. A celebration of creativity, connection, and family, Together/Apart events are designed to spark ingenuity in folks ages six and up, with a particular eye toward multi-generational connection, both near and far.

Each session begins with a recorded presentation, followed by an interactive virtual gathering to review and build upon the instruction. Lessons are non-sequential, so you’re welcome to participate in one, some, or all sessions. Childlike wonder encouraged!

Upon registration, participants will receive a materials list. Suggested materials are intended to be flexible, affordable, and easy to source at home or within your local community.

Thanks to a Challenge Grant from the Nancy Eccles

Thanks to a Challenge Grant from the Nancy Eccles and Homer M. Hayward Family Foundation and donations given by members of our community, we have raised $40,185 since we launched “Re-Start the Arts” and we critically need your help to reach our $100,000 fundraising goal by June 30—in order to meet our end of fiscal year commitments, build back our staffing capacity, expand programming, and improve the indoor environment for your health and enjoyment. Here, artist David Ligare explores why it is important to “Re-start the Arts” at MMA now. He shares that museums are “thinking places” and that they offer ideas and inspiration—and we wholeheartedly agree! Every contribution advances us towards our fundraising goal and allows us to continue sharing the visual stories of California—your stories. Thanks to each and every one of you for your support.
