Family Canvas: Art in Nature

March 7, 2026

12 – 2:30 pm
moCa Cleveland, 11400 Euclid Avenue Cleveland, OH 44106    

Family Canvas: Art in Nature is a monthly, intergenerational experience presented as part of moCa Saturdays, moCa Cleveland’s free family and community engagement series. Developed in partnership with Cleveland Metroparks, the program welcomes Metroparks naturalists onsite to facilitate three to four interactive workshops focused on varying nature-based themes each month.  Each session features three nature stations, two located indoors and one hosted inside Cleveland Metroparks’ Mobile Nature Station, alongside an immersive artmaking experience in moCa’s Rayburn Education Workroom led by Wave Space Studio. Together, these components invite participants to observe, reflect, and create while exploring the shared ground between ecological systems, contemporary art, and everyday experience.  The program is intentionally connected to the exhibitions currently on view at moCa Cleveland, with a strong thematic anchor in Ohio Now: State of Nature. Participants are encouraged to consider how artists and naturalists alike use observation, experimentation, and curiosity to understand the world around them.

This event is sponsored by moCa Cleveland and Cleveland Metroparks and is free and open to the public.
