We are extremely lucky to have a world class art museum being built in Northwest Arkansas, and you can get a taste of what to expect by participating in the Children and Family Programs now being offered at Crystal Bridges at the Massey in Bentonville.
For example, Crystal Bridges at the Massey hosts FREE after-school programs for kids ages 7-12. Registration is required, and spaces fill quickly. Here is the current schedule of upcoming Budding Artist classes, all of which have a botanical theme:
- Thursday, March 6, 2008
Plants & Paints — Discover the art of botanical illustration and take an up-close look at plants and flowers as you paint them in watercolor. - Thursday, April 3, 2008
Flower Power – See artistic floral design in action – then create your own unique bouquet from paper. - Thursday, May 1, 2008
Art in Bloom! We’ll stroll to Compton Gardens to see what’s in bloom and capture nature’s beauty in brilliantly colored pencil.
The Children’s Program is a FREE drop-off program held monthly on Thursdays from 3:30-4:45pm for children ages 7-12 only; pre-registration is required (click here for a registration form), and space is limited.
