Kids care Workshop
November 14
In this special class, students create artworks as holiday gifts for people who are homebound with illness and learn how their art can make a difference in someone's life. These artworks will be displayed in Woodmere’s online exhibition, Kids Care 27: Visions and Voices of Young Artists. Children will create mobiles and nature-based shadowboxes inspired by colorful and hopeful messages for the future. Artwork will be delivered along with meals provided by MANNA (Metropolitan Area Neighborhood Nutrition Alliance) during the holiday season. Click here to learn more and register.
