About this Event

It’s time for the Qing Ming festival, when families remember those who’ve passed on and welcome spring, the season of renewal. Families gather to honor their ancestors and make ritual offerings of food and flowers. Remember those you love by quilling intricate paper hearts and crafting white and yellow paper flowers in their memory.

Paint, build, craft, and collage with us! Inspired by the museum’s exhibitions and local artists, MOCACREATE explores different themes every month. MOCACREATE workshops are designed with families in mind, but all are welcome!

FREE! RSVP optional, but appreciated.

Yu Rong is a painter and product designer. She was born in Sichuan and currently lives in New York City, where she is a teaching artist at the Hope Garden Center and at MOCA. She received her BFA in Product Design and MFA in Painting at Parsons School of Design and NYSS, but has been practicing art ever since she was a child.
