Young Artist Workshops are free art activities for children ages 3+ (must be accompanied by an adult). Participants can come to a YAW anytime between 3 and 7 pm. Workshops at MOAH are every first Thursday of the month. Art activities take about 10-30 minutes to make; seating and supplies are first-come, first-serve. Participants create artwork from start to finish, with all the supplies and guidance provided by MOAH staff. Each YAW is unique and introduces children to a variety of art techniques, materials, and processes.
A parent or legal guardian must accompany their child for the entire duration of the craft activity.
