Step back in time and get inspired by the bold, colorful designs of the 90s and 2000s! Explore the fonts that defined a generation in Magazine Fever, from the grunge of the 90s to the neon glow of Y2K aesthetics. Then, create your own eye-catching lettering. Whether you’re crafting bold headlines, playful bubble letters, or iconic WordArt, join us in channeling your inner designer and creating fonts that pop!
Paint, build, craft, and collage with us! Inspired by the museum’s exhibitions and local artists, MOCACREATE explores different themes every month. MOCACREATE workshops are designed with families in mind, but all are welcome!
FREE! RSVP optional, but appreciated.
