MOCACREATE: Qixi for You & Me with Teaching Artist Yu Rong

We’re celebrating Qixi, the most romantic holiday on the Chinese Lunar Calendar. On this night, Niulang and Zhinü, the cowherd and weaver girl, are able to meet for just one night. Learn to weave just like Zhinü, and make a beautiful bridge to help us reunite the starry lovers!

In the traditional story of Qixi, magpies fly together to make a bridge for Niulang and Zhinü to meet. Add a magpie to our collaborative artwork to ensure this happy reunion!

Paint, build, craft, and collage with us! Inspired by the museum’s exhibitions and local artists, MOCACREATE explores different themes every month. MOCACREATE workshops are designed with families in mind, but all are welcome!

FREE with admission! RSVP appreciated. MOCA Members should enter their promo code to access complimentary tickets. NYC residents can purchase pay-what-you wish tickets online or with our Visitor Services team.
