For visitors with intellectual and developmental disabilities

Abdias Nascimento. Facade of a Temple. 1972. Acrylic on canvas. The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Gift of Pamela J. Joyner and Alfred J. Giuffrida, and Sandra and Tony Tamer Image description: On a horizontally oriented canvas, brightly colored geometric shapes fit together like puzzle pieces. In each section is a different image or symbol, including a red-rimmed eye with a green iris, a striped snake eating its tail to form a ring, and a green bird with a feathered tail perched on a blue wheel. A wavy ribbon of magenta covers the top edge of the canvas, with the other edges bordered by a striped brown pattern.

Please join us for MoMA’s monthly program welcoming individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, with their families and friends, to explore works on view and create artworks together. During each session, participants focus on a different theme during interactive activities in the Museum’s galleries and classrooms.

The morning session is for kids and teens (ages five to 17) and the afternoon session is for adults (ages 18 and up).

Registration opens on March 2, 2026, at 10:00 a.m.

Create Ability is offered free of charge. Space is limited and preregistration is required. For more information or to register, please email [email protected] or call Access Programs at (212) 408-6447.
