Art Studio

The Art Studio is a bright, beautiful, inspirational program area where guests have the opportunity to participate in hands-on, open-ended, creative exploration of visual arts of all kinds.

Art Studio: Light Scape is a vibrant, immersive program area where guests can explore the nature of light and darkness through hands-on, creative experimentation with color, shadow, and perception. Visitors can step into overlapping beams to discover surprising colored shadows; experiment with lenses, mirrors, and prisms that bend, reflect, and separate light; transform themselves into shifting geometric patterns inside a giant video kaleidoscope; design glowing compositions with translucent magnetic tiles; and create illuminated images with fiber-optic-inspired pegs. Throughout Light Scape, flexible stations invite guests to play, investigate, and discover how the science of light shapes the way we see the world. Wall displays allow us to showcase guest creations and highlight the beauty that emerges when curiosity and creativity shine together.
