with guest artist Jeremiah Hulsebos-Spofford

Drop by and join in the Smart’s free family activities every month! Each Family Day features hands-on art activities designed to inspire children to think about and respond creatively to art and the world around them.

This Saturday, guest artist Jeremiah Hulsebos-Spofford leads a monumental Family Day. What if you designed and built your own public sculpture or monument? What would it look like? What would it say? Who would it commemorate?

FREE, all materials provided. Activities best for kids ages 4–12, accompanied by an adult.

Family programs are supported by the Harper Court Arts Council.
