Saturday Family Day at the Art Space February 26, 2011

Art making and story telling join delightfully as Nassau County Museum of Art welcomes children and their families to Saturday Family Day at the Art Space on Saturday, February 26 at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. The activities of the fun-filled family afternoon, all led by trained museum docents, include creating art and poetry inspired by the whimsical illustrations by Robert Searle and fanciful rhymes by Robert L. Forbes in Let's Have a Bite! A Banquet of Beastly Rhymes, the current exhibition at the Art Space (running through May 8). Forbes’ funny poems and Searle’s quirky drawings will springboard the imagination, suggesting amusing rhymes and forms that children can create on their own.
Saturday Family Day at the Art Space is free with museum admission; no reservations are needed. $2 per car parking fee.
