Stop by the Heardlings Art Cart to create a clay magnet inspired by Bob Haozous!
Create your own clay magnet with inspiration from the large-scale steel sculpture, Zen Bear, by Warm Springs Chiricahua Apache artist Bob Haozous. This hands-on activity will be facilitated by Heard Museum Engagement & Learning Programs staff. We’ll be located outside of the Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust Grand Gallery, making it easy to visit the Bob Haozous: A Retrospective View exhibition for inspiration. When you’ve completed your magnet, make sure to swing by the entrance to Steele Auditorium to see the original sculpture!
This activity is FREE with regular admission.
All About the Heardlings Art Cart
The Heardlings Art Cart is your hub for resources and activities for families visiting the Heard Museum. The cart is available each day and is located past the Admissions desk. Here, children and their caregivers can get oriented and pick up materials designed just for them, including a Family Map and Kids Activity Guide. The Heardlings Art Cart is also the place to look for exhibition-specific guides for families.
What are Heardlings?
The Heardlings is a family friendly initiative committed to engaging and educating children and their adult caregivers. Led by a welcoming animal guide — Archie the Jackrabbit (named after the museum’s iconic arches) — young museum-goers are invited to experience the new Heardlings Family Activity Room, and the Heardlings Art Cart. Additionally, families can enjoy signature events for youth audiences; a child-friendly menu at the Courtyard Café; Heardlings merchandise at Books & More; and HeardBeat, a youth and family e-newsletter.
