Join us for an evening of art history and a hands on art project. Attendees will learn about pets through the eyes of artists and create their own one-of-a-kind artwork.

Discover your inner artist with Art Exploration! Each month, kids ages 6–11 will learn about a different artist or art style and then create their own masterpiece through a fun, hands-on project. Come ready to imagine, experiment, and make art in new and exciting ways!

In February, we will learn about different artworks featuring the artists' pets and how their interpretations vary depending on the artists' styles.

Note: Please register each child attending separately. This program is recommended for children ages 6-11. Registration is required.

Please email laplataref@ccplonline.org with any questions.
