"Art Play" for Kids at the Helen Day Art Center

Past event
Apr 8, 2017, 10 AM to 12 PM

Back by popular demand!

Picture this: your child, an expansive canvas, buckets of paint, big brushes—and absolutely zero lines or boundaries. Welcome to free-form “process art,” where the focus is on the experience, not the outcome, and your kid’s imagination can soar.

Not only does process art enhance your child’s creativity and self-expression, improve fine and gross motor skills, and encourage sensory and spatial exploration, but most importantly, it’s a blast.

So join us for Art Play, an open space where kids have the freedom to create whatever kind of artwork they want—all while moving around, dancing, and making as much of a mess as they like along the way. We’ll provide a variety of materials and live acoustic music; you bring the fun!

Saturday, April 8
10am-12pm
Ages 2-5, with an adult
$5
*Although smocks will be provided, please dress in clothes you don’t mind getting messy and bring a change of shoes for the classroom
