The Wexner Center will host a free Family Day on Sunday, September 23 in conjunction with the exhibition William Wegman: Funney/Strange. This event, intended especially for ages 4 to 13, will be filled with lively workshops and activities that will allow families to explore and dig deeper into Wegman’s artistic methods.

THE EVENT: William Wegman: Funney/Strange Family Day at the Wexner Center features a variety of activities, including 30-minute, interactive, docent-led tours; a postcard picture workshop; “funney” photography; and animal storybook workshops.

And families can enjoy a selection of short films by Wegman, including films he created in the 1960s and ’70s for Sesame Street and Saturday Night Live.
