Join us for Art Uncovered on the 2nd Thursday each month from 5-6pm in the Smart Room.
Art Uncovered is a family-friendly program designed for kids ages 6–11 (and their younger siblings!) to explore new art styles and techniques through fun, monthly themes. Each month, dive into a fresh theme inspired by art styles such as pop art, collage, mosaic, surrealism, nature-inspired design, and more.
Kids can move through the stations at their own pace:
- Experiment with the monthly theme at the Inspiration Station
- Add to our collaborative art quilt wall, designed around each month’s art style
- Create your own story at the comic station, featuring fresh prompts and ideas
Little ones are welcome, too! We’ve included age-appropriate materials like coloring sheets, simple activities, and sensory items to keep them engaged while older siblings create.
