Bring the family, walk the bay front, and visit your local Art Center to participate in “Family Art Time.” This free, ongoing series of art activities geared towards families will take place each Saturday at the Art Center of Corpus Christi from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., starting April 2nd. “Family Art Time” is graciously sponsored by the Coastal Bend Community Foundation, as part of their 30th Anniversary Celebration.

Art projects will be creative, hands on, and of a take home nature that all family members can enjoy. Art Center instructors will facilitate activities, which will change weekly and provide a variety of art experiences in painting, drawing, clay and crafts such as basketry, beading, print making, collage and more. Special projects will incorporate various cultures and traditions, based around holidays and seasons of the year.

Projects will be structured so participants can come and go throughout the day and participate in other Art Center activities. These include regular classes, viewing exhibitions of local artwork, purchasing handcrafted goods at the 2nd Saturday Art Market, and dining at Desiree’s by the Bay.

“Family Art Time” fulfills the Art Center’s mission to be a central “hub” of creative expression, bringing the arts to all segments of the community.
