MOCAD Family Day

Saturday, September 12, 2026
11:00 AM - 3:00 PM

4454 Woodward Avenue, Detroit, MI 48201

About This Event

Be both an artist and a curator! Use MOCAD's model to create miniature artworks and curate your own museum exhibition.

What to Expect

  • 1.The day is hands-on: you'll use MOCAD's model to make tiny artworks and then curate your own mini museum exhibit.
  • 2.You'll be in a family friendly gallery setting with other attendees, and staff are used to helping first timers.
  • 3.Wear clothes you don't mind getting a little messy. Materials are kid friendly, but projects can involve glue, markers, and small components.
  • 4.Plan with the 11:00 to 15:00 window and check in at the front desk. Pace yourself through the hands-on stations and factor in a short break for lunch.
  • 5.Ask staff for a quick demo or starter theme. The point is exploration and fun, not perfection.
