No advanced registration is required. All materials are provided on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Saturday Studio is an art-making experience in the galleries led by Chicago-based artists that welcomes participants of all experience levels. The program is primarily designed with adult visitors in mind, but it is open to participants of all ages.
