MOCACREATE: Playful Percussion Workshop at the Museum of Chinese in America

July 18, 2019 by Denise Courter

MOCACREATE: Playful Percussion Workshop at the Museum of Chinese in America

 

Using everyday materials such as plastic spoons, popsicle sticks, and coffee tins, create and decorate your own hand percussion instruments—drums, shakers, and more! Then, practice keeping the beat with your funky new creations.

Founded in 1980, the Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) is dedicated to preserving and presenting the history, heritage, culture and diverse experiences of people of Chinese descent in the United States. The greatly expanded MOCA at 215 Centre Street is a national home for the precious narratives of diverse Chinese American communities and strives to be a model among interactive museums.

Date: Saturday, July 20th

Time: 1:00p – 4:00p

Location: 215 Centre Street, New York, NY 10013 (b/w Howard & Grand Sts; one block north of Canal St)

Age(s): All ages 

Cost: Adult $12, Children (2 and up) $8; Military, Students, and Seniors (65 and older with ID) $8. 

FiDi Families Insiders: MOCA Free First Thursdays
Free gallery admission first Thursday of each month except on major holidays. Made possible through the generosity of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and J.T. Tai & Co. Foundation.

Instagram post 2194757623654705182_421134111 How do you teach kids about community? Bringing them to neighborhood building parties! Lucky to live in a building that has rolled with the punches and been a constant reminder of how lucky we are to call downtown home. Grateful for amazing neighbors and for a community of friends. This is why I raise kids in NYC. Neighbors that make you feel that you live in a village and not a crazy city!.
