This June, NUMU is celebrating Pride month with the return of a crowd favorite craft: Pride keychains! Step into our Lounge and decorate a keychain with lanyard cord and pony beads to match one of many Pride flags in the LGBTQ+ community, and learn the importance of the colors used in each of the flags.
The Monthly Craft is a drop-in, self-led artmaking activity that complements NUMU’s current exhibitions or seasonal themes. Activities are designed for a wide range of participants. Guests under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Please leave the space as you found it for others to enjoy.
Beat the heat this August with NUMU’s monthly craft: DIY folding fans! Visitors can decorate and make their own folding fans with paper and popsicle sticks. Find inspiration in summer scenes, fruity eats, or design your own pattern.
Hoo’s ready for September’s monthly craft? Visitors can use upcycled cardboard, paper, and more to make their own horned owl, a popular sight to see as Los Gatos enters fall. If you need more inspiration, you can check out our collection of taxidermied owls on display in the Los Gatos History Project and Collections Lab. It’s a hoot!
In this program, Girl Scout Juniors will earn their Art and Design Badge by creating a Tiny Art Show. We will explore NUMU’s galleries looking for art and design, paint a tiny canvas, experiment with color saturation, sculpt tiny pottery from clay, and design our own tiny art show with pedestals and frames. This tiny art and design experience will be big fun!
