ZLC OH: Diwali
- Event Date: Saturday, October 22, 2016
- Time: 1:00 pm–4:00 pm (CDT)
- Location: Zahn Learning Center, Spurlock Museum, 600 S. Gregory St., Urbana, IL
- Cost: $2 per crafter
During ZLC OH on Saturday afternoons, visitors can create crafts inspired by special exhibits, cultural holidays, current events, and Spurlock’s feature gallery collections. Ideal for elementary age students through adults, ZLC OH aims to help visitors explore world cultures by making crafts and spending hands-on time with objects from the Museum’s Teaching Collection.
Enjoy a performance of dance and music and make festive decorations for this upcoming holiday. At 1:30, Sankhya Hirani will present a demonstration of Odissi dance, and Mayank and Shasank Hirani will play tabla. These presentations are for sharing of Indian culture with the community, and a Q & A with the audience will take place afterward. Visitors can also decorate a diya (little clay pot oil lamps, in our case made from model magic) to take home along with a battery-operated tea light, and arrange colorful plox paper onto a rangoli design. $2 per crafter; museum admission is free, and parking is free in non-metered, non-reserved parking spaces in lot D22 (behind the museum).
