Come make, explore, and follow your curiosity.
Prompt + Ponder + Play is a relaxed, open-house style creative experience for all ages. Stay for 30 minutes or the full two hours. Drift in and out, move between tables, start something, leave it, come back to it, or begin again.
Inspired by the Artist Advancement Grant exhibition, this space invites you to explore light, shadow, symbols, and transformation through playful, open-ended making.
You might follow a prompt, roll the dice, trace a shadow, or build something from memory or imagination. You might collaborate with someone else or work quietly on your own.
There is no right way to do this. Just begin and see what unfolds.
What to Expect
A series of prompt-based art stations using drawing, collage, light, and mixed media
Simple invitations to explore pattern, symbols, and storytelling
Chance-based activities using dice, cards, and intuitive prompts
Opportunities for both individual and collaborative making
A welcoming, low-pressure environment for all ages
----
You might find yourself:
- Drawing from memory or shared experience
- Creating symbols or small talismans
- Letting chance guide your next step
- Tracing shadows and playing with light
- Adding to a collaborative piece that slowly evolves
- Prompts are just starting points. Follow them, remix them, or wander in your own direction.
Who It’s For
Designed for parents and children, from babies through pre-teens, and anyone who feels like they could use a little more play in their day.
What to Bring
- Nothing required. All materials will be provided.
- Flashlights will be available if you want to explore light, shadow, and a slower, more focused way of working.
