Every Sunday from 12-3 PM, children and their favorite adult can drop by the Museum for free, themed art activity. Available for kids of all ages to learn about art and to give them the opportunity to create their own art project in the studio. There will be a different art project featured each week.
February - Poetry in Paint and Print
Don't worry if you can't write poetry! This month we'll show you how much fun it can be to play with words and images to create visual poems. You'll have tons of fun exploring and mixing it up with paints, printmaking and text.
