Hosted by AAPI Montclair, this annual festival honors the diverse, rich traditions of the South Asian diaspora. Spend the day with us while enjoying live performances, family-friendly arts and crafts, readings from local South Asian authors, and sweet and savory bites from popular neighborhood restaurants and food trucks. Be sure to stay until the end, when you'll get a chance to learn first-hand how to dance like a Bollywood star with a surprise guest performance!

Enjoy a Family Friendly Art-Making Activity Every Sunday at MAM

 

MAM's Sunday Studio

 

Sessions at 1 p.m., 2 p.m., and 3 p.m. every Sunday

Join us each Sunday for a fun family art-making activity inspired by our current exhibitions. This weekend, the activity is inspired by the exhibition Lori Field: Tiger Tarot, and the artist's interest in totem animals. Families will create mixed media masks featuring their own favorite animals and personal symbolism.
