Art Start

Nurture your early learner’s creativity through art, music, movement, and play! Art Start invites toddlers and preschoolers to explore in a welcoming environment that encourages curiosity, imagination, and growth. Each session features a story, song, and art-making activity, plus a special letter or instrument of the day to spark hands-on discovery for families and caregivers to enjoy together.

Drop by on this day to experience the story Monsters Love Colors by Mike Austin, a playful story about colorful monsters and creativity. Then, create a squish sensory painting influenced by the art on view in The 65th Young Arkansas Artists exhibition.

The 65th Young Arkansas Artists Exhibition and awards are supported in part by Arkansas Children’s Hospital, Delaware North and the Jacobs Family, Simmons First Foundation, Mid-Southern Watercolorists, and Blick Art Materials.

This exhibition is organized by the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts.
