Bask in the sun while creating a cyanotype for the summer!

Step outside the walls of the museum as you create cyanotype prints in the summer sunshine. After foraging for flowers, leaves, and other natural materials in Fenway’s iconic Emerald Necklace, craft your own unique composition on fabric and paper and let the sun do the rest. Come solo or with friends–have fun either way. And because it’s MAAM, it’s FREE!

Know Before You Go / Event Details

This event will occur mostly outdoors and will involve walking or rolling to the nearby Emerald Necklace Back Bay Fens park, about .3 miles from MAAM.

This event will start and end at MassArt Art Museum (MAAM), located at 621 Huntington Avenue. Restrooms, water, and locker storage will be available upon check-in, however the exhibition galleries will not be open. After check-in at MAAM, we will head outside.

We recommend wearing comfy shoes and clothing appropriate for hands-on artmaking with natural (and sometimes messy) materials.
