MOCACREATE: Celebrate Qing Ming & Welcome Spring w/ Teaching Artist Yu Rong

It’s time for the Qing Ming festival, when families remember those who’ve passed on and welcome spring, the season of renewal. Families gather to honor their ancestors and make ritual offerings of food and flowers. Remember those you love by quilling intricate paper hearts and crafting white and yellow paper flowers in their memory.

Paint, build, craft, and collage with us! Inspired by the museum’s exhibitions and local artists, MOCACREATE explores different themes every month. MOCACREATE workshops are designed with families in mind, but all are welcome!

FREE! RSVP optional, but appreciated.
