After School Art Adventures at the Carriage Barn
Artist in Focus will be Picasso, Four Thursdays Oct 16, 23, 30 & Nov 6, 4-5pm
 
Don’t wait to sign up for this popular after school art program led by local teacher “Ms Tiffany” McKay. In this 4-week session, we are diving into the world of Picasso – who was known best for co-founding Cubism. With Mrs. McKay’s guidance, children will be able to delve into this creative process by using different materials to create their own unique piece inspired by Picasso’s methods. This hands-on experience not only fosters creativity but also imparts valuable lessons in collaboration and artistic expression.
More info available HERE.

Do you keep finding Legos underfoot? Back for its fourth year, the New Canaan Museum’s Builder’s Challenge is asking all budding architects, engineers and builders to recreate their favorite real or imagined New Canaan spot in interlocking blocks (such as Lego or MegaBloks bricks). Kids’ creations will be displayed in local store windows throughout the month of October to celebrate New Canaan’s October4Design celebrating architecture, art, community and design. Come to the New Canaan Museum to sign up and receive a free baseplate to get you started – one per family please!
