On Sunday, July 19, 2020, the Art and Culture Center held its Free Arts! Family Days. Guests were able to not only visit the Time to Play exhibition for free, but they also created their own bonsai tree felt drawing with Curator of Exhibitions Meaghan Kent.  If you missed the activity, the Center has created a step-by-step instructional video on how to create your own bonsai tree drawing. Using colorful materials, scissors, and glue, this STEAM activity allows you to learn about the small tree and how to cultivate and maintain them. 

List of Items:

• felt squares

• googly eyes

• fuzzy balls

• wood dowel

• yarn

• glue 

• scissors

Free Arts! Family Days is funded in part by PNC Arts Alive, and City of Hollywood General Fund Social Service Agency Grant. 

Don’t miss our next Free Arts! Family Day on Sunday, August 16, 2020 as local artist Jen Clay leads us in our next activity: Make Your Monster. 

Make your own otherworldly friend creatures with artist Jen Clay. Design a fun or scary monster by making its body, then adding as many movable legs and arms to it in any way you wish. All participants will leave with their own self-designed monster friend!
