Themed Thursdays

Explore international cultures through hands-on artmaking! Each week, create a craft inspired by traditional techniques and designs from different regions of the world. These drop-in activities invite families to learn about global heritage and art while creating something to take home. After making your masterpiece, explore the exhibit, We The People: The World in Our Commonwealth, to learn more about individuals and communities who have made Virginia home. Weekly Crafts: • June 4: Scratch-art Greek Vases • June 11: Egyptian Lanterns • June 18: Mexican Feather Art • June 25: Symbols of Ireland. FAQ: 1. Do I need to arrive right at 10:30? – No!

Do I need to purchase a ticket? – This event is included with daily admission, so you do need to purchase a museum ticket, but there is no additional ticket required for the crafts.
