National Portrait Gallery Education Center
Recommended for families with children ages 5 to 10

Children and their families are invited to participate in a two-hour art class to better understand an artwork by Marcel Duchamp on view in the exhibition “Inventing Marcel Duchamp: The Dynamics of Portraiture.” Registered participants will take a brief guided tour of the exhibition, focusing on a multi-media self portrait by Duchamp. Participants will then create artwork based on the main ideas of that artwork.

Free and open to the public. Space is limited; call (202) 633-8501 to register. Please note: children must be accompanied by an adult.
