Time to complete: Most participants finish their artwork in 30-45 minutes.
Explore the exhibitions: After completing their projects, kids and families are welcome to explore the exhibitions at their own pace.
This event is open to all ages, so bring the whole family for a creative and meaningful afternoon of art-making.
