Offered on the second Saturday of the month, Art Explorations is an interactive arts education series that provides an opportunity for children ages 4 to 11 and their families to create art in a gallery setting, with a goal of instilling a sense of art appreciation. Art Explorations encourages an interest in the arts and aims to develop participants’ cognitive skills, self-esteem, and self-expression. The program is free and provides opportunities for families to develop a range of artistic techniques to explore current exhibits at Urban Arts Space.
December 2020 Virtual Art Explorations: Pop Up Cards
Join us for Art X on December 12th at 1pm to learn how to create your own pop-up card!

Recommended for ages 4-11, but adults are welcome to work alongside.
