The Youth Programs team invites teens to join museum educators on the third Friday of every month to be inspired by the museum’s exhibitions and screenings, explore the museum, hang out, and get creative.
We will be joined by Self Help Graphics & Art in creating small personal altars and ofrendas/offerings inspired by the film La Ofrenda: The Days of the Dead (1989) by documentarian Lourdes Portillo.
The small altars we will make will be in remembrance of loved ones no longer with us. Please bring a photo or small item that represents your loved one to include in a 5x7 inch altar.
Meet us Friday, May 19 from 4:30pm to 6:30pm in the Shirley Temple Education Studio on the museum’s Lower Level. Workshops are designed for teens ages 14 and up. Snacks will be provided.
All workshops are free with museum admission and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Museum admission is free for youth ages 17 and under with advance reservation.
If you have any questions, or need assistance planning your visit, please email museumeducation@oscars.org.
