Super Art Sunday
About
Join us for this day-long adventure featuring art-making activities for kids (recommended ages 4-12) and their favorite grown-ups. Explore how young imaginations can change adult perspectives of the world! Activities include curating art, creating inventions for the future, and more!
Future Inventions
11 am–4 pm
Common Room
Using collage and scrap materials, design a machine, gadget, or device from your imagination that will benefit the future. Facilitated by Santrupthy Das.
Gallerie All Together
11 am–4 pm
Danforth Hall
An experimental program that offers kids an opportunity to listen to their gut, try things out, and learn that their innate curatorial sensibilities have both individual and collective value. For our first pop-up, we’re taking over a room at the RISD Museum during their Super Art Sunday program. We’ll be hosting 25-minute sessions where small groups of children between the ages of 5-10 get a crash course in curating. We collected a bunch of art from artists living and working around Providence, and kids get to look at it, decide what they like, and then put the art somewhere in the room. Our instructors will give a very brief, top-level and super kid-friendly definition of curating that centers on the consideration, selection, and placement of things.
This project is facilitated by artist-curator Ben Sisto.
Tools for Tomorrow

Fain Gallery
What does the ideal future look like in your imagination? Kids create a manual for grown ups that tells them how to live life to the fullest in their vision for the best possible world.
