Have you ever wondered what it's really like to be an artist, scientist or engineer?
In celebration of Black Creativity, kids and families can talk with African American artists, scientists and engineers about innovative work happening right here in our city. Professionals will be stationed throughout the Museum's Main Level. This is an opportunity to learn from experts during dynamic demonstrations, hands-on activities and one-on-one conversations. Discover how to turn your passions into a career!
This event is included with Museum Entry and open to all ages.
