Let's Get Cultural!

Today's Blog post comes from our friend Kelly Meyer, mom to Ryan and super awesome person.  They have been attending classes at the Des Moines Art Center and here's her info about it:

Looking to find a great way to stay cool, have fun and flex your creative side this summer?  The Art Center is offering some amazing classes and camps for Adults, Children and Families! 

My son, Ryan, attended the Pre-K/Kindergarten Art class and he absolutely loved it!  The class was an hour and a half long, but they spent the entire time painting, drawing, learning how to blend colors, making a color wheel and painting self portraits, just to name a few things.  They also got to take a tour of the museum as well as enjoy some fresh air outside flying the paper helicopters they made!

While they are in class you can wait in the lobby, stroll through the museum yourself or venture out on the grounds for a little walk and much deserved “me” time.

Have a little one?  Join the Baby & Me Gallery Talks on June 12^th and July 10^th from 11 am – noon at the Pappajohn Sculpture Park.  This FREE event is a great way to take a stroll on the grounds with your pre-walker for an informal discussion.

Entrance to the Art Center is free everyday if you don't want to take a class, but feel like browsing.
