Chesterton Art Center (CAC) is hosting its free Family Art Day on Saturday, February 25, from 10 AM to 2 PM CST. Families are invited to participate anytime during those hours to tour the current exhibition and make art together. All ages are welcome.
With guidance from the CAC team, families will explore the Sense of Place exhibit that celebrates work from the Indiana Dunes National Park Artist-in-Residence program. Visitors can then move into the classroom to create dunes-inspired artwork including collage birds, mixed media beach scenes, and plant study accordion books . All supplies provided. Folks may want to dress for mess!
While Family Art Day is free, please register at https://www.chestertonart.org/youth-and-teen-classes/p/family-art-day, or call (219) 926-4711 to reserve your family’s spaces.
“Family Art Days are a special initiative building on the CAC mission to create more accessible arts programming for the Duneland community and beyond. We invite you to come spend some relaxed, creative time with your family and learn more about all CAC offers.” says Jillian Bridgeman, Program Director of Chesterton Art Center.
In addition to Family Art Days, CAC has implemented other free outreach programs including Teen Arts Group, School Group Art Visits, and a Youth Arts Outreach Program in partnership with the Duneland Boys & Girls Club and YMCA.
Chesterton Art Center is a vibrant hub of artistic and cultural activity in the Duneland area. CAC widens access to art, arts education, and outreach while expanding our mission’s impact and building a community that includes everyone. Located in downtown Chesterton, the Center has two main exhibition galleries, two classrooms, member exhibition space, and artisan gift store.
