Looking for a fun way to learn over the summer break? Let your kids stretch their imaginations at The Hyde Collection! Starting July 18, the brand new smART Series will introduce children 6 and up to the world of Modern art, and encourage them to ask lots of questions along the way.
The Big Picture
Every Tuesday through August 29, kids will enjoy investigating modern works and learning about the processes the artists used to create them. After learning all about the process, kids will get the chance to make their own projects in the Hyde’s Art Studio. Weekly projects include Wire Sculptures (July 18), Create Shape (July 25), Discover Color (August 1), Invent Texture (August 8), Build Value (August 15), Explore Form (August 22), and Elements Art Lab (August 29).

What’s At The Hyde?
While your little artists are busy learning and creating, why not explore what The Hyde Collection has to offer this season? Whether journeying back in time through the halls of the Hyde House or checking out new exhibitions from Ellsworth Kelly (Fruits & Flowers and Slow Curve) and the Feibes & Schmitt Collection (To Distribute and Multiply), there’s so much to see when you visit The Hyde!
Slow Curve
Ellsworth Kelly brings the elements of art to life! Open until September 17, Slow Curve demonstrates how curves of line and color can represent the natural world. You will see over sixty lithographs in this amazing collection provided by Jordan D. Schnitzer and his Family Foundation.
To Distribute and Multiply
Art lovers won’t want to miss this exhibition! Showcasing pieces from twentieth century artists like Josef Albers and Sol LeWitt, To Distribute and Multiply will be open all year. The awe-inspiring exhibition is held in the Hyde’s brand new Feibes & Schmitt Gallery, named after donors of the original 160-piece collection, Werner Feibes and James Schmitt. Forty of these works can be seen in To Distribute and Multiply.
