Details:

The Nasher Sculpture Center will host its monthly Target First Saturday on Saturday, February 7, so bring the kids and enjoy free admission and fun family programming. Target First Saturday aims to bring out your children’s artistic talents and help them broaden their understanding and appreciation of the world. This event is designed especially for children in preschool to elementary school, featuring a line-up of activities that encourage creative thought through a monthly “Big Idea.” February’s “Big Idea” is Friendship with Best Friend Bracelets as the featured art project.

Currently on view at the Nasher is Melvin Edwards: Five Decades, a retrospective of the renowned American sculptor working in welded steel. The Melvin Edwards Family Guide will lead children and parents through the exhibition and offer insightful activities relating to the materials in Edwards’ work, as well as opportunities to understand connections with significant welded metal sculptures in the Nasher Collection. Highlighting the important role of music in Edwards’ work, the Nasher has compiled a playlist of musicians that Edwards has cited as influential to his life and sculpture. The playlist can be found here
