About this Event

Celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month at the Portrait Gallery with a series of Young Portrait Explorers. Join our virtual workshops for children ages 3-6 and their adult companions as we learn about art, history, and more! Each week in May, Portrait Gallery educators will lead a 30-minute program on a different Asian American or Pacific Islander that incorporates close looking at portraiture, movement and art-making. Please find the schedule of the virtual workshops below, and register using the green button above.

Participants will appear onscreen during the Zoom meeting if they choose. Cameras may be turned off if preferred. Adults must remain with children throughout the program.

The Zoom link will be emailed to registered participants 24- 48 hours in advance of the program. The email will come from Eventbrite. Please only register for your child. Adults do not need to register. We will only be allowing participants into the meeting if their name (and email address) is on the registration list.

The Portrait Gallery strives to provide programs that are accessible to all visitors. For questions, or to request accommodations such as captioning, please email JonesVE@si.edu at least two weeks in advance of the program.
