Enjoy Art

Tip: the videos are archived on his website after they’re shared, so don’t feel like you have to be up at 6 AM.
- Lincoln Center Pop-Up Classroom– Every weekday morning at 10 AM you get a daily dose of creative art-making courtesy of one of the Center’s Teaching Artists, who leads families and kids in a workshop using simple materials that can be found at home.
