Creative Kids Unite!  Kids Art Club provides art making challenges and the opportunity to work with a variety of media to let imaginations explore and expand. Throughout the term young artists will work with clay, paint, fibers…. It’s always something new!

Please know our Youth Studio is in a historic building with steps.

Join the Adrian Center for the Arts for some Mixed Media Art making on Sunday, October 4th anytime between 1:00pm and 4:00pm.

Attend the reception for artist Alisa Clark's solo exhibition, The Inner YES, in the gallery, then take the family to the Youth Studio to create some art inspired by Alisa's work. 

Art Together invites families to experience art in a new way through guided gallery visits and hands-on creative activities. For many participants, this may be their first experience visiting a professional art gallery. While some families regularly engage with the arts, others may find gallery spaces intimidating or unfamiliar. This program was intentionally created to ensure every family feels comfortable, welcomed, and inspired.

This Family Fun time is free to the public, but registration is encouraged. All are welcome, but activities are geared towards families with children 10 and under.

This event is sponsored by Kiwanis Club of Adrian, The Sigmund Foundation and Adrian Noon Rotary Club.
