SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College welcomes art-makers to the first Family Saturday of the new season, Family Saturday: Stained Glass Snowflakes, at 2 p.m. on Feb. 4.
The program is suitable for children 5 and older accompanied by an adult. It begins with looking at photographs of snowflakes from the Tang collection by Wilson Alwyn “Snowflake” Bently. He is credited with being the first person to make detailed photographs of individual snowflakes. Participants will discuss the work and then create snowflakes using glitter-glue and other materials.
Family Saturdays aim to foster multigenerational creative cooperation through looking at artwork, discussing it, and engaging in a hands-on art-making activity. The program runs from 2 to 3:30 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
No registration required; supplies provided on a first-come, first-served basis. In accordance with guidance from Saratoga County, the CDC, and Skidmore College, the program is mask optional, and participants are welcome to wear masks should they wish.
Family Saturdays continue Feb. 18; March 4; April 1, 15, 29; and May 13. Details will be announced later. For the most up-to-date information, visit the Tang website at https://tang.skidmore.edu or contact the Tang Visitors Services Desk at 518-580-8080.
