MERCER LABS Museum of Art and Technology redefines the museum experience. Through fifteen experimental exhibition spaces, interactive experiences, unique listening encounters and immersive installations the relationship between art and technology is re-imagined.
Artist led, the Experimental Institution stands at 36,000 square ft. Mercer Labs where culture and innovation converge with intention and art humanizes technology. The museum fosters this exchange among artists through collaborations and curatorial programs.
Set in an 1855 warehouse turned hip Brooklyn studio, this 3 hour introductory class brings participants together to create an array of assembled glass creations with a twist - or neat! Forged together with heat and creativity you will be given all the tools and supplies to create your very own work of glass art. Partnering with local purveyors of the finest libations, this class was born out of a passion for glass making and a love for fine wine.
Walk through Heartland's natural spaces, learning about the wild plants and trees traditionally used by Indigenous peoples. Following the walk, visit the Medical Tree Arboretum, then choose to participate in either a traditional sweetgrass harvesting ceremony, followed by a sweetgrass braiding workshop. Or, after the walk, sample a selection of medicinal teas. A family-friendly version of our classic medicine walk using child friendly language with hands on activities for ages 5-12 is also available. Selections for sweetgrass braiding or medicinal teas, along with adult or family-friendly versions are available in the booking form.
