Family Fest: Artists in Action
2025-03-08 10:00 - 13:00
Inspired by AMFA’s multi-colored thread installation passage by Anne Lindberg, this special family festival invites you to unleash your imagination and create your own passage-inspired art – alongside the artist herself.
Find inspiration by experiencing the installation in person and learning more about Lindberg’s approach to color, line, and composition. Families can also explore some incredible works already created by over 100 schools and organizations this year as part of AMFA’s Community Created program.

Family Fest: Artists in Action is supported in part by the Alice L. Walton Foundation.
