The year 2020 has given new meaning to face masks, but for centuries artists from the Americas to Africa have fabricated masks to negotiate status, personal identity, and ritualistic practices. Using scratch paper and markers, create a mask that shares your story, how you want to be seen, and who you hope to become.
Kits will be available inside the Museum at the North Entrance on a first-come, first-served basis from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. You can register below to reserve a kit. Reserved kits will be available for pick-up at the Flora Street Entrance from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. If you are picking up a kit, stay in your car and a DMA staff member will place the kit in your trunk. Kits include supplies for one participant.
