NYT forChildren Events: Family Art Lab: ‘Celebrate Ganesh’

Family Art Lab: ‘Celebrate Ganesh’ Babar, Dumbo, Horton — children’s tales are full of interesting elephants. But this program at the Rubin Museum of Art, an institution devoted to the cultures of the Himalayas, will introduce one elephant figure young New Yorkers may not have heard of: Ganesh, the Hindu deity. God of wisdom, wealth and all beginnings, Ganesh has the head of an elephant and the body of a man. This lab, for ages 5 and older, will include stories about Ganesh, a hunt through the galleries for his likeness and a chance to make sculptures of his image in clay. http://ift.tt/1J0sBrP Sept. 12 from 2 to 4 p.m. At Rubin Museum of Art http://ift.tt/RrAmV2 212-620-5000 150 West 17th Street, between Avenue of the Americas and Seventh Avenue Chelsea, Manhattan New York, NY 10011 via NYT forChildren Events http://ift.tt/1J0sBrP Put the internet to work for you.
