MOCACREATE: Light, Bright Lanterns with Teaching Artist Yu Rong
February 15, 2025, 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
The Lantern Festival, held on February 12th this year, marks the official end of Lunar New Year festivities. To celebrate in style, create a variety of colorful paper lanterns to light up the night sky. Attach clever riddles to your lanterns—or write your own!
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.
