The Youth Education program at DFAC always has hands-on experiencing on offer, whether it is in the DLM Children’s ART Museum or in a classroom or FREE Family Fun Night, or Make-N-Take Weekend. If you can’t make it to DFAC, perhaps the Wheels on Wheels Mobile Clay Experience has come to you! And let’s not forget all of those incredible exhibits featuring so many young artists in our Kokolakis Family Youth Gallery.
Our hope is to share some of that hands-on and visual FUN here in the #theARTofsocialdistancing . Stop by often to see how we’re doing. And PLEASE don’t forget to let us know.
Fly with DFAC’s youth and get a glimpse of young artists in action!

March 31st is NATIONAL CRAYON DAY!
It’s time to bust open a box and get busy! Crayons of course bring to mind Holly Wilson’s incredible work “A View Within. Under The Skin” that was featured in her recent exhibit On Turtle’s Back, forged entirely out of crayons!
It also brings to mind that we must Champion Creatively Alive Children!
Champion Creatively Alive Children is a program sponsored by Crayola and the National Association of Elementary School Principals, in partnership with the National Art Education Association and the Partnership for 21st Century Skills.

Dance along with Astronaut MR. TODD to the newest dance craze, The BLAST OFF! Be careful not to float away!
