Kids Art Nite: 1st-5th grade
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
It's a KIDS ONLY art making event! The 3rd Saturday of every month you can leave your kiddos with us for a fun & creative art experience while you enjoy a relaxing evening out!
No formal lesson will be taught, but we do teach techniques and concepts as needed to follow the child with their ideas. All media centers will be open to choose from including drawing, painting, collage, found object sculpture, and fiber arts/hand sewing.
Everyone will leave with creations or experiences that are meaningful to them. Art is just as much about the process as it is the product. We teach kids how to think and work like an artist, and honor all creative endeavors even if your child wants to observe and experiment with the process more than focus on a finished product.
