Be creative at BAMPFA’s Fisher Family Art Lab

Just beneath the entrance at the UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA) is the Fisher Family Art Lab where people of all ages are welcome to spend time making art. Micaela Martinez Saavedra, one of the Art Lab Facilitators, greets any museum goers with a smile as she sits and sews beads onto a gray dress on a rainy Saturday afternoon.

The Art Lab has many different materials and tools available including paper, books, scissors and colored pencils. It’s currently open on Fridays from 2-7 p.m. as well as on Saturdays and Sundays from 11-7 p.m. Children up to age 13 are free and parents are more than welcome to make art.
