Embrace your creativity! Take an art break to make a small artwork of your own inspired by the exhibition Water's Edge: The Art of Truman Lowe.
 
Join a museum arts educator for a hands-on art experience inspired by Truman Lowe’s use of willow branches and light. Participants will play with shadows using willow branches and light to trace the shadows they create. Drop by the tables on the Level 3 Overlook near Windows on Collections to spend some time creating after your gallery visit.
