Museum offers art kits to children
Thanks to the Sonic Foundation, the Oklahoma City Museum of Art will distribute 500 art kits through select Metropolitan Library System locations and Oklahoma Children’s Hospital at OU Health. Instructions and materials needed to make three sculptures at home are inside the box.
The projects take inspiration from the museum’s Dale Chihuly collection as well as the upcoming exhibition, “Moving Vision: Op and Kinetic Art from the Sixties and Seventies.” Kits also contain two complimentary adult admission tickets to the museum. Children’s admission is free.
Kits will be distributed Jan. 18-31 or while supplies last. A list of participating locations can be found at
Even when they were forced to close their physical theaters, art houses like the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, Rodeo Cinema, Tower Theater and Tulsa's Circle Cinema have helped curate such promising titles through their innovative Virtual Cinema offerings.
