Spend a day making art with the whole family at Chesterton Art Center’s next free Family Art Day on Saturday, November 16 from 10 AM to 2 PM CST. Kids and their favorite grown-ups are invited to participate anytime during those hours to explore the current exhibition, It’s All About the Square by Area Artists Association, followed by time to make art together. All ages are welcome, and all materials are provided. While Family Art Day is free, please register at chestertonart.org/youth-and-teen-classes, or call (219) 926-4711 to reserve your family’s spot. Walk-ins are also welcome!
With guidance from the CAC team, families will explore the current exhibition where the artists push the boundaries and interpretations of “the square” through a wide variety of media including painting, drawing, artist books, photography, and sculpture. Visitors will then move into the classroom to create a series of projects inspired by the exhibit such as collage cubes, mixed media sculptures, and rubber band prints. All supplies are provided, and you may want to dress for a mess!
Family Art Days exemplify CAC’s commitment to creating accessible public arts programming for the Duneland community and beyond! Come spend some relaxed, creative time with your family and learn more about all CAC has to offer. Family Art Days are generously supported by Meijer.
