Celebrate AAPI Heritage Month with us at MOCA! Commemorate the lives and achievements of your favorite Asian American heroes by making paper dolls (plus all their accessories)! Get inspired by amazing people from our Luminaries wall and our book collection, or honor someone you know. Make sure Yo-Yo Ma has his cello, Tyrus Wong has his paintbrush and paints, and physicist Chien-Shiung Wu doesn’t forget her lab coat!

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.
