ArtStart
2024-06-11 10:30 - 11:30 (America/Chicago)
ArtStart is an early reader program that pairs children’s books with art activities, inviting toddlers and preschool students to learn through reading, imaginative play, and art-making.
This free program welcomes parents, grandparents, caregivers, and our youngest patrons to drop in and explore with us – no reservations required!
In this session, we are reading I Have an Idea! by Hervé Tullet and creating squiggle art.
ArtStart is supported by the Alice L. Walton Foundation and Walmart Spark Good.

Fridays on the Lawn: Summer Games
2024-06-14 17:00 - 20:00
Soak up the summer sun and end your week with a playful round of Giant Jenga (or another lawn game) while sipping a cool drink.
Need a break from the competition? Find a spot at a drawing easel and express yourself with the help of an instructor, or step into the air conditioning to discover inspiration in the galleries. Relax and stay awhile as you roll into your weekend with AMFA.
Coolers, outside food or drinks, and large bags are not permitted. Pets, blankets, and lawn chairs are permitted.
