Let's set 2026 in motion together at MOCA.
About this Event

What are your goals, dreams, and wishes? We'll write them down, then make wishing pinwheels together. Whenever you need some motivation, just spin the pinwheel to set your dreams in motion.

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!

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. You can learn more about her here: www.yurong.work!
