Join us for an afternoon of art history and learning advanced techniques.

In December, we will learn about the unique world of advertisements centering around illustrations found on California orange crates from 1880 until the 1950’s. These labels, a form of early advertising often depicting scenes of California, were developed to help sell the idea of California as a citrus paradise.

PLEASE NOTE: This program is designed for ages 9 to 18. Younger participants may have difficulty with the projects and/or concepts.

Please register each child who will be attending separately.
