As all children know, watching parents dance to music is beyond embarrassing. Save your kids the shame and sign them up to participate in Art Camp@Dusk while you enjoy a frosty brew at a Downtown@Dusk concert. During ArtCamp@Dusk children 6-12 years will explore all kinds of fun, wacky and (gasp!) educational hands-on art activities in the museum’s classroom.
Each session is free for members and $5 for non-members, pre-registration is required.
