Art in Action: Family Art Workshops
August 20, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
$5 – $10
Family Art Workshops: Look, it’s new!
This summer, the Pence Gallery invites children and their families to participate in the return of our family art workshops! Our program, Art in Action, offers kids ages 5-12 engaging art projects that prioritize having fun and learning together with parents or adult caregivers. Projects are designed to introduce kids to making their own artwork by experimenting with creative ideas and materials. Our resident art teacher will introduce you to the wealth of possibilities in our upstairs classroom. This is a drop-in program, with no registration required.
How it works:
There is a fee per child of $5 for Pence members or $10 for non-members, and you can pay at the door with cash or card. (Become a member starting at $65/year and save!) A parent or adult caregiver is required to stay, but only has to pay for the project if they are also doing art. Stay as long or as short as you like over the two hour period.
Workshop on Sunday, August 20, 1 – 3 PM:
This program offers exciting projects on the drop-in dates of Jul. 23, Aug. 20, and Sep. 17. The August workshop is Terrific Terrariums. Construct and decorate your own terrarium with succulents, air plants, soil, glass enclosures, and more!
