Join us for our third Summer Family Friday of the season: Print!  

Inspired by our newest exhibition, Arts, Letters, and Power: Van Dyck and the Portrait Print, families will explore gelli plate printmaking, carve their own styrofoam etching prints, experiment with dynamic stamping techniques, and craft a one-of-a-kind trading cards to swap. 

Join us for these activities:  

  • Printmaking with Styrofoam – Carve and press your own portrait print, just like 17th-century artists. 

  • Snack – Enjoy a 1600s/Baroque-style sweet treat.  

  • FlexiNatyam by Moksha Rao – Witness a mesmerizing dance performance blending classical Indian dance with contortion and yoga-inspired movement. 

  • Experience live music performed by talented local youth musicians from the Sacramento Youth Symphony Orchestra. 

  • Sensory Play with Sacramento Children’s Museum – Dive into hands-on exploration designed for all ages and abilities. 

  • Storytelling with 916 Ink – Craft imaginative tales and bring your creativity to life through words.
