Upcoming Family Happenings

 
Sunday Family Art & Storytelling
First Sundays, April 7 | 11:00 am-noon
Ages 3-5, with an adult 
Instructor: Ginger Mimmo Rohlfing

Introduce your preschoolers to art experiences. Children will focus on one artwork, read a related story picture book and create an art project with their adult companion. A fun and engaging way for children to enjoy art. 
 
 
Celebrate Spring with a Cascarones Workshop
Saturday, March 23 | 11:00 am-12:30 pm 
All ages 
Instructor: Marta Sanchez
FREE
 
Artist Marta Sanchez brings the Mexican tradition of Cascarones to Woodmere to celebrate the arrival of spring. Like an Easter egg, cascarones are decorative eggs that are used during festive times and celebrations. Children will decorate eggshells filled with confetti with paint, markers, and glitter to create their own Cascarones. Bring them home and enjoy the fun tradition of cracking the eggs over others' heads, a tradition that believes that as the confetti spills out from the eggshells, the cascarones will bring good luck.
 
 
Children's Workshop | Let's Paint A Landscape Together, with Henry Bermudez
Saturday, April 6 | 11:00 am-12:30 pm
Ages 5 and up
$5/child (FREE, Woodmere Family Members)
(takes place in Woodmere’s studio, the Sarah Lodge Center for Creativity) 
 
Children and their families are offered a unique opportunity to work with artist Henry Bermudez and create a huge “landscape painting together.” The artist will outline a world of trees, plants, creatures, and patterns inspired by his artworks (on exhibit in the Museum). Children and families will use brushes and tools to paint the colors and textures that create a magical and special place. 
 
Families receive free admission to the Museum before or after the workshop. Be sure to visit Woodmere’s exhibition, Henry Bermudez in Philadelphia.
