Marks in Motion
October 19, 2025 - April 19, 2026
The Pollack Family Learning Center transforms throughout the year with new installations, projects, and materials that extend and deepen the gallery experience.
Inspired by Shen Wei: STILL/MOVING, this hands-on space invites families to investigate the connection between dance and visual art. Learn about the traditions and techniques that influence Shen Wei’s multifaceted practice. Experiment with playful materials, explore movements that leave traces on paper, discover the possibilities of brushwork, and feel the rhythm of lines.
