reCREATE Outside Artist Spotlight: Adam Henry

Tuesday / June 27 / 9am-11am

Part of our free MoCA on the Move at Met Park programming happening this summer and fall, this reCREATE Outside event spotlights the work of artist, Adam Henry.

Bringing together his love of Marvel with sculpture, Adam Henry will demonstrate how to first build, and then, decorate a “Thor hammer” for you to take home. No previous art skills needed!
