MAD welcomes makers of all ages for a day of free admission and exhibition-inspired creative projects to spark your inner artist! Cool off with a movie in The Theater at MAD, explore our exhibitions, visit the sixth floor Artist Studios, and create your own work of art with MAD’s artist educators. Plus, just for kids: a creative play station hosted by Brooklyn-based toy company Clixo!
