Make—then fly!—your own kites in celebration of the final weekend of Meiji Modern: Fifty Years of New Japan at the Smart Museum of Art. Get inspired by Meiji prints on view, decorate paper with stamps and designs, and then assemble a working kite with wooden sticks, string, and Yasutomo Nori paste.
FREE, drop-in. Art-making supplies and other materials are provided. Family programs are best for kids 4–12, but all ages are welcomed! Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Family programs are supported by the Harper Court Arts Council.
