Families are invited to tour the exhibition Crossing Cultures at the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, Ketchum, and then create family flags and albums that illustrate their own unique family story.
Crossing Cultures looks at images and symbols traditionally associated with certain cultures—like pagodas, cowboys, piñatas and Native American designs and forms—and shows how artists have used such images in their art to question and broaden traditional categories of race, culture and ethnicity.
Center staff will lead tours at 3 pm and 4 pm, and families should plan to arrive in time for one of these tours.
The Center’s free Family Day projects are inspired by current gallery exhibitions. Many activities require adults to be hands-on helpers to their children. No advance registration is necessary.
Crossing Cultures: Ethnicity in Contemporary America will be on view through February 23. For information about all tours, lectures and other programs related to the exhibition, visit www.sunvalleycenter.org.
