FREE Art Activities in 2012

At local libraries for kids ages 5-12!

Each session will begin with an Artist reading aloud a story or two and then discussing the book or illustrator. Participants will get to work on imaginative art activities relevant to the book or artist 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 free program is provided by Artists Working in Education, Inc. (A.W.E.) and MPS Partnership for the Arts in collaboration with Milwaukee Public Libraries. Please register for a workshop series at the library or by calling 286-3011. (limit of 25 children per session – adults can attend without registering)
