Join us on Saturday, April 11, at 2 pm, for Family Saturday: Outdoor Adventures—Bug Hotels and Fairy Doors. In partnership with Skidmore’s Green Grant project, students Bridget Hunt ’26 and Maxine Catlin ’26 will lead a pollinator workshop and invite participants to help build bug hotels to enrich the pollinator ecosystem on the Skidmore campus!

After viewing Métamorphose de papillon by Abdoulaye Konaté in All These Growing Things, we’ll discuss the artwork and learn about pollination. Participants will then help build bug hotels using paint, eucalyptus cylinders, bamboo tubes, pine cones, and mulch. Additionally, participants can decorate their own fairy doors to take home using paint, buttons, beans, and stones.

Family Saturday programs foster multigenerational creative cooperation through looking at artwork, discussing it, and engaging in a hands-on art-making activity. Programs run from 2-3:30 pm and include a tour of selected works. All programs are free and open to the public, and suitable for children age 5 and older, accompanied by their adult companions. No registration required; supplies provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
