FotoFest Family Day

Join FotoFest on Saturday, November 9, from 1 to 3 PM for Family Day, a fun, educational, and hands-on program! In conjunction with its exhibition, Artist-run, Artist-organized, Family Day presents three unique activities for adults and kids: painting with spices, photography walks, and Spot the AI minigame.

Self-portrait with Spices
Inspired by La Mecha Contemporary artist Yashoda Latkar, create a portrait of yourself using spice-based paints. First, make a recipe consisting of spices that describe yourself. Next, use your recipe to determine which spice-based paints you need for your portrait. Finally, paint a self-portrait that represents you using spice-based paints. Take home the final artwork or share with a loved one!

Photo Walk
Using a camera, walk in and around Silver Street Studios to photograph objects, places, or scenes that seem out of place or stand out to you. Using a QR code, submit your best photos to FotoFest to have your work featured in our newsletter and website. This activity is based on the work by Throughline Collective artist Luisa Duarte.

Spot the AI Minigame
As artificial intelligence (AI) develops, it blends seamlessly into everyday life. Inspired by Omnigenesis Collective’s exhibition Aperiophobia, the Spot the AI minigame tests your ability to identify which pictures and words were created or altered using generative AI technology.
