MOAD + Kinetic Family Event

Join MOAD and Kinetic Kickoff for a family event welcoming our neurodivergent community. Designed for neurodivergent children, teenagers, and young adults, including those on the autism spectrum, and their families, the morning will feature sensory-friendly art and movement activities, including “Build Your Chimú Monkey” and “Trenzas,” an immersive collaborative braiding activity with guest artist Lucia Morales. A quiet resting area will be available for guests who need a break. Free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. Attendees may park for free in MDC's Parking Lot 1 located on the south side of the Freedom Tower, between NE Fifth and NE Sixth Streets. The Museum of Art and Design (MOAD) at MDC may document the event, including its attendees.
