Erie, PA, June 06, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Starting June 13, the Erie Art Museum will kick off a special hands-on summer program series for families hosted on the second Sunday of every month from 2-4 p.m. Children ages 5 and up will explore new art-making processes and learn to see through the eyes of artists. These arts & crafts-style programs are “cool enough for kids and easy enough for adults,” said Kelly Armor, Director of Education and Folk Art. This month’s theme, “What is a Museum?” will explore the concept and character of museums through art-related projects and discoveries. Future programs will take place July 11 and September 12 from 2-4 p.m. Admission is $4 for adults, $3 for children/students, and free for members.
The Museum offers additional opportunities for artistic expression just for kids: First Fridays, Art Camp for Kids, Art of the Magical Forest, Photography for Kids, and Parent Child Clay among others. A complete list of classes for kids and adults is found at www.erieartmuseum.org.
