Gladys’ Gang Preschool Edition: Material World
Wednesday
May 20, 2026
10:00 am-11:00 am
Art isn’t always made with paint or clay. Some artists, like Rodney McMillian, use fabric, furniture, zippers, and more. Join us as we explore featured exhibition Rodney McMillian: A Son of the Soil and see how different materials might look and feel. Gladys’ Gang is specially designed for 4- to 5-year-old participants and their adult companions to explore art through play and inquiry. This program builds skills for kindergarten readiness through story time, gallery conversations, and a creative studio project related to the art exploration theme.
Free. Registration required for all participants as space is limited. Siblings welcome!
This program is supported in part by a grant from Publix Super Markets Charities.
