On Saturday, Jan. 9, families are invited to The Contemporary Austin at Laguna Gloria from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m for Home Tweet Home — a free workshop where kids can design a modern birdhouse as part of the monthly Second Saturdays are for Families series. Kids can be good neighbors to our feathered friends by creating a warm place for them to hang out this winter. Recommended for ages 2 – 11.

Roger Hiorns’s interactive foam sculpture “A retrospective view of the pathway” will be activated at 1 p.m. to create an otherworldly landscape where kids can play in the bubbles! This installation will be at Laguna Gloria through Sunday, Jan. 24.
