Creative Kids: Emerging Artists

Creative Kids: Emerging Artists will engage students across PEM’s exhibitions and galleries, exploring artistry across time periods and cultures while inspiring students’ creative expressions. From Monday through Friday, 9 am to 4 pm, students will be engaged by teaching artists through games, art making, explorations of the museum and writing workshops, in 60-90 minute increments with snack and lunch breaks. Students will be encouraged to respond to their experiences through art and writing, and will celebrate their creations in a family showcase and reception at 4 pm on July 17.
