Art for All

Art for All

August 1st, 2026 12:00pm–4:00pm

• Free with museum admission (every Saturday from 12–4PM)
• All ages are welcome to participate.

Enjoy your visit to the museum and explore your artistic side with a hands-on project inspired by the museum's exhibitions and collections.

Inspired by Your Friend, Frederic E. Church, participants will create their own cartes-de-visite. In the 1860s and 1870s, small photograph cards were commonly traded among friends and visitors. Albums filled with cartes-de-visite were commonly displayed in Victorian parlors. Participants will draw self-portraits on cardstock, then decorate a custom felt album for their cartes-de-visite.
