In December, Art Detectives will search for hidden faces in the negative spaces of letters in a charming book by graphic designer Scott Lambert. We’ll then tour Taekyeom Lee: Designed, Printed & Fired. Using unusual materials and digital tools like 3D printers, Taekyeom creates letters, graphics, and objects that invite visitors to explore design through touch, sight, and play. We’ll finish by making our own typography-inspired artwork.

Art Detectives is a free program for children 4-8 years old (but all ages are welcome). Join us as we read a story, look at art, and make a project to take home. Caregivers must stay with their children at all times. This is a free program; preregistration is encouraged. Adults, remember to register your children!

Bring your kiddo to Glass Art Kalamazoo for our brand-new Kids Create series! These classes are geared toward children ages 6 and up working side-by-side with a parent/guardian.

It’s a great opportunity to get familiar with fused glass as you spend a fun day creating together in our studios! Choose from our wide variety of colored glass bits, frits, and stringers to bring your design to life.

No need to pre-register, just Walk-In anytime between 12pm – 3:30pm (last call). Please note: this project is similar to our Art Hop fused glass projects, and will not include the use of hand tools.

Dress as your favorite prince or princess, superhero, or anything that makes you feel special, and join us for a festive afternoon with cocoa and treats, crafts, photo ops with beloved characters, and special performances by Portage Central High School Theatre students!
