ColorLab
BCM’s Family Art Studio
ColorLab is BCM’s art-making space where artists of all ages can explore, make, and celebrate art. ColorLab programs are rooted in the creative works and cultures of Black artists. Each month our projects are inspired by a muse artist’s work and practice. Families have the opportunity to explore print-making, collage and sculpture projects inspired by artists such as Chakaia Booker, Romare Bearden, Faith Ringgold and Kehinde Wiley, among others.
ColorLab is open Wednesday through Friday afternoons from 2:30 pm – 4:30 pm, and weekends from 10:30 am – 4:30 pm.
Entry to ColorLab is included in general admission.
This Month’s Project
October: Create a Relief Sculpture
Join us in the ColorLab Art Studio during the month of October to create a sculpture inspired by the plaster-based artwork of LaKela Brown. Make textures with air-dry clay and gold art materials to create your own relief sculpture!
Art programs at Brooklyn Children’s Museum are made possible by The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation, the Milton and Sally Avery Arts Foundation, the Einhorn-Lasky Family, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the New York City Council.
