Art Adventures: Habitat Heroes is a family workshop at OMA that pairs a hands-on art activity in the studio with a visit to the gallery. Participants explore materials and techniques in an environment meant to foster engagement and creativity for young children and their favorite grownup, and the program is ideal for children ages 2-10.
One session journeys into an exhibition about connecting the Florida we don't see, highlighting the conservation photography of Carlton Ward Jr. Participants learn about the habitat of the Florida panther and how artists like Ward are helping to save its home, then create their own panther from air dry clay and design a shoebox diorama for its environment, embellished with natural materials.
Another session draws on an exhibition of vintage treasures and oddities from the Sunshine State. It looks at how Florida's identity as a tropical paradise and tourist hot spot came to be, in part through decorative and utilitarian artwork being designed, and participants draw, paint, print and collage a postcard showcasing their favorite parts of Florida.
