Join us Saturday, April 13, at 2:00 pm for Family Saturday: Strike a Pose! Can artwork come to life? Yes, it can! In collaboration with Skidmore Dance students Hannah Haines ’19 and Emily Gunter ’19, we will explore the Tang’s collection through dance. As we look at sculptures and paintings, we will discover ways to transform the stories they tell into movement. This Family Saturday session will culminate with a special preview of Hannah and Emily’s new dance Translation and Transformation: Mythology in Choreography event happening in the Payne Presentation Room that weekend.

Family Saturdays foster multigenerational creative collaboration through looking at artwork in our galleries, discussing and sharing ideas, and engaging in a hands-on art activity inspired by those conversations.

All programs run from 2:00 to 3:30 PM and are free and open to the public, and suitable for children ages 5 and older, accompanied by their adult companions.

Registration is required. You can register beginning one week before each program. For more information and to register, call our Visitors Services Desk at 518-580-8080. We welcome visitors of all abilities! Be prepared to get messy and have fun! Share your Family Saturday photos on social media by including #tangfamsat.
