Free Art Activities this Spring at your Local Library! Our After School Art Workshop is a drop-in program designed for children in grades K5 – 5th grade, though older kids are welcome. Each visit will begin with an A.W.E. artist reading aloud a story or two and then discussing the book or illustrator. Participants will then get to work on imaginative art activities relevant to the theme for the day. This is a great opportunity to be creative, try new techniques and have fun expressing your artistic point of view. Everyone gets to take home their creations. Families are encouraged to attend and make art together! This program is a collaboration between the Milwaukee Public Library and Artists Working in Education, Inc. (A.W.E.) with support from MPS Partnership for the Arts.
We hope to see you there!
