MOCACREATE: Light, Bright Lanterns with Teaching Artist Yu Rong
The Lantern Festival, held on February 12th this year, marks the official end of Lunar New Year festivities. To celebrate in style, create a variety of colorful paper lanterns to light up the night sky. Attach clever riddles to your lanterns—or write your own!
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.
Yu Rong is a painter and product designer. She was born in Sichuan and currently lives in New York City, where she is a teaching artist at the Hope Garden Center and at MOCA. She received her BFA in Product Design and MFA in Painting at Parsons School of Design and NYSS, but has been practicing art ever since she was a child.
