Visitors to this Sunday’s free Rubin Block Party are in for a fun-filled afternoon of performances, gallery tours, free admission, and more. This year’s event draws inspiration from the current exhibition “Becoming Another: The Power of Masks.” As a result, the education team has devised an array of mask-themed art-making activities designed for creatives and craft-enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels. Here’s a list of the craft stations you can expect to find at the block party:
1. Animal Masks ““ Find your inner animal.
