Join us for Open Studio, a monthly drop-in program designed to help you connect with your creative side. This program encourages participants to engage—in guided or freestyle ways—with materials inspired by the themes, techniques, and media of a featured work of art. This summer, we’ll focus on Earth Kid (Boy) by Yinka Shonibare. Each month there will be a different project, allowing for new ways to connect with this work. Our Studio Host will be available to guide you through the month’s project or support you in your own creative endeavors. All materials are provided. Drop in when you can and stay as long as you like. Parking is available in the Visitor Lot immediately north of the Sculpture Park for a fee during the week (before 4:30 p.m.). Free two-hour parking is available in the Eddy Street Commons Parking Garage or along Angela Blvd. After 4:30 p.m. and on weekends, parking is free and available in any non-gated lot. If traveling via South Bend Transpo, take the No.7 bus and use the stop for Eddy St. Commons (at the intersection of Angela & Eddy St). https://raclinmurphymuseum.nd.edu/visit/events/2025/05/04/open-studio-5/

This drop-in tour will introduce you to your new Raclin Murphy Museum of Art.

Meet at the Welcome Desk. No registration is required, but each tour is limited to twenty participants. This tour will explore all gallery levels of the Museum. Although the tour will keep moving between spaces, gallery stools are available upon request. https://raclinmurphymuseum.nd.edu/visit/events/2025/05/04/meet-your-museum-1/
