Since the kids are off from school, why not take them over to the Walters for some free family fun? Each day this week and weekend, the museum will host a series of free drop-in art activities from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. in their Family Center. No pre-registration is required:

Winter Break Activities:
Thursday, Jan. 1 – New Year calendars
Friday, Jan. 2 – winter buttons

To the Beat of the City:
Saturday, Jan. 3 – street signs
Sunday, Jan. 4 – window reflections (drawing activity)

These workshops are open to all ages as long as children are accompanied by an adult. For more information, call (410) 547-9000 or visit www.thewalters.org.

yes! everyone should come to the walters! you can find me running the drop in studio program most saturdays, and i can tell you how amazing it is to see even 2 year olds becoming completely engaged in art and art exploration, as they spend more and more time visiting & creating. thanks for posting this and spreading the word.
Also, if you have kids between 6-8, we have amazing tours geared specifically toward that age group, on the 3rd saturday of every month. They're free, but fill up fast, so pre-register for them online as well.
Hope to see you soon!
