Where Art Is Child’s Play — Children’s Museum of Arts

Children’s Museum of Arts in the South Village focuses on making art, not just drawing and sculpture but also sound and stop-motion animation. It is also the only institution in New York City collecting international children’s artwork which includes 40 pieces from Harlem in 1963, children’s paintings made during the Works Progress Administration, and art from African villages.

The opening exhibition “Make Art (in) Public consists of mostly adult works — sketches, photos, models and actual pieces by artist such as Keith Haring, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, and and Tranqui Yanqui, who makes wearable art from cardboard. Not only is the art fun and is trying to raise public conscience about issues. Child’s play — this sounds like lots of fun for adults too.
