Event Details
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.
Who wouldn’t love a big, squishy sculpture constructed from their imaginations? Students will learn how to make a simple design, draw and cut out their plans, decorate, and stuff to make their incredible pillow creations. Students will go home with a paper pillow that is lightweight enough to hang from a string for wall decoration!
Show off your unique, artistic abilities with a tote bag you painted yourself! Students will create designs for their tote bags and paint them in their preferred style. If there’s time, students will learn embellishment techniques like adding beads and sewing patches.
Des Moines Art Center members receive a 20% discount on all classes, camps, and workshops! Become a member today.
