Color Quest 1: The Power of Color
Pay as you wish!
Join us for a late evening of color and community!
What happens when a single color changes everything?
Inspired by our exhibition, Eric Carle’s Modernist Inspirations, the first evening in our three-part Color Quest series as part of The Carle After Dark invites families to think like artists.
Throughout the Museum, you can experiment with unexpected color combinations, respond to color in the galleries, and make your own artistic choices. Along the way, you can begin building a personal Artist’s Palette—a collection of colors, swatches, and visual ideas gathered through the evening.
In the Art Studio, you can explore color through collage and material play inspired by Eric Carle’s process. A collaborative color experience will also grow over the course of the night, revealing how many different possibilities can emerge from the same ingredients.
Story Times at 4:30, 5:30, and 6:30 p.m. will feature books that use color in imaginative and surprising ways.
Come experiment, make bold choices, and see what happens when you let color lead the way!
