The Biennial Kinetic Art Exhibit is well suited for COVID-19 since most of the activities during the two-day opening weekend are staged outdoors in Boynton Beach's recently refurbished downtown area.
Museum offers art kits to children
Thanks to the Sonic Foundation, the Oklahoma City Museum of Art will distribute 500 art kits through select Metropolitan Library System locations and Oklahoma Children’s Hospital at OU Health. Instructions and materials needed to make three sculptures at home are inside the box.
The projects take inspiration from the museum’s Dale Chihuly collection as well as the upcoming exhibition, “Moving Vision: Op and Kinetic Art from the Sixties and Seventies.” Kits also contain two complimentary adult admission tickets to the museum. Children’s admission is free.
Kits will be distributed Jan. 18-31 or while supplies last. A list of participating locations can be found at

It has been so neat to see all of the ways people are creating art at home, and now the Oklahoma City Museum of Art has joined the fray to spur children to get creative with sculpture.
Between Jan. 18 and 31 while supplies last, the museum will distribute 500 art kits through select Metropolitan Library System locations and the Oklahoma Children’s Hospital at OU Health. The free Family Art kits, made possible by the Sonic Foundation, include the instructions and materials needed to make three sculptures at home. They’re designed for children from 3 to 17.

"The Beaux Arts Collection is a very interesting and eclectic collection. It's interesting from the standpoint that it reflects the different tastes and I suppose collection opportunities that the museum (has) had since the mid-1960s. What resulted is a very diverse, unusual, fun collection," said museum President and CEO Michael J. Anderson.
