We transformed one of our most iconic landscape paintings, Winslow Homer’s Weatherbeaten, into a coloring book page, and asked visitors to test out the implications of color for themselves. Adults and children alike created almost 2,000 versions of this painting.

Visitors to The Workshop took an everyday occurrence—a coffee spill—and transformed it into a cat, a map, an abstract drawing, an interstellar scene, or whatever else their imagination inspired.

Inspired by Christopher Patch’s Migration—on view in the Modern Menagerie installation—visitors created a flock of flying bird sculptures.

Over the course of two months, visitors illustrated hundreds of pages from Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick, almost completing the entire epic.

Hundreds of visitors selected a small detail from one of the painting which intrigued them and copied it onto a paper tile.

Visitors spun a wheel for a challenge to create sculpture inspired by a select idea using hand-crafted, magnetic wooden blocks.

From August 18 to December 3, 2017, The Workshop's Storytelling Objects crowdsourced writing and drawings in response to four everyday objects: an apple, a toy car, a seashell, and a mirror.

Architecture invited visitors to take on an architectural design challenge: making their own museum.

Objects in Space showed that Isamu Noguchi, like many artists, believed that sculpture had the ability to transform spaces.
