Looking for a fun and creative way to spark your child’s imagination this summer? Our one-day youth workshops offer kids a chance to explore painting, drawing, and mixed media in the Art Center studios—no experience needed! Led by experienced teaching artists, these hands-on, two-hour workshops are the perfect way to engage imaginations and practice artistic skills.
Visit the museum after the workshop for more art inspiration! Admission is always free.
Play pretend in this workshop by creating masks to fit your inner wild child! Students will use a variety of materials like cardboard, pompoms, beads, and paint to make the masks of their dreams.
It’s slime time! In this class, students will make their own colorful fidgets, including hand-built Lego spinners. Students will make slime and incorporate various colors and textured additives to make it their own. Everyone will go home with several useable fidgets.
