Make Something Sunday: Freestyle Stitching
We are thrilled to launch our fall series of Make Something Sundays featuring a new sensory Play Atelier. Make Something Sunday is a monthly program that introduces new materials and new ways of working through informal hands-on artmaking workshops for kids 12 and under and their adults.
The Play Atelier extends Make Something Sunday with opportunities for families to engage in open-ended, sensory and creative play. At the heart of this pop-up space is a light cube that functions as a stage for experiments with colour and light. Various changing materials will offer new and unexpected avenues for playful exploration.
Drop-in for half an hour or stay for two. No booking required. This program is offered free of charge.
22 September, 2:00-4:00 pm
Freestyle Stitching
A large blunt needle and burlap stretched over an embroidery hoop are all you will need to start stitching. Choose from a rainbow of yarns and add flair with beads and shiny, super-sized sequins.
The Little Library
Extend your visit to the Owens with our Little Library, a small portable library featuring an expanding collection of art books for young readers. The books in the Little Library spark conversations about art, observation, and creativity. The Little Library is available during any visit to the Owens.
Art Kits
You might also want to try out one of our in-gallery Art Kits designed to connect kids ages 2-12 twelve to our current exhibitions.
Community programs like Make Something Sundays are made possible thanks to core funding from the Municipality of Tantramar and the New Brunswick Department of Tourism, Heritage and Culture. Additional funding for Play Atelier was received from the Strategic Initiatives Fund (Art Wellness Component) of the New Brunswick Department of Tourism, Heritage and Culture.
