Based out of Conrad Prebys Learning Center and sprawling into the galleries, we invite you to a Play Day inspired by Celia Álvarez Muñoz’s art installation "El Limite" (1988) and the stories her veteran father shared.
Together, we will combine and paint wooden blocks to create toy trains while learning about veteran artists in MCASD’s collection.
