Free Family Day

Sunday, April 7, 2019, from 12:00pm to 3:00pm

Join us for Free Family Day at the Santa Paula Art Museum on the first Sunday of every month from 12:00pm to 3:00pm. In addition to enjoying our current exhibitions, you’ll experience hands-on art activities for the whole family, with local artists sharing new ideas and projects each month. On Sunday, April 7, join us for a fun and creative assemblage project – “art boxes” inspired by American assemblage artist Joseph Cornell. Artist Karen Browdy and students from her local Conversations in Art History class will share their own Cornell inspired “art boxes” and lead guests in a creative exploration of materials and design. Admission is free for everyone and all materials are provided.
