REPRESENT! Family Book and Arts Program at LAA

May 4th's Featured Book: Swashby and the Sea by Beth Ferry, illustrated by Juana Martinez-Neal

At LAA, we are all about representational art – but what exactly is representational art? What does it mean to represent something or someone artistically? And whose stories and experiences are being represented? 

Join us for a fun-filled exploration of fabulous artists whose diverse backgrounds and artistic styles bring stories to life! 

We invite elementary-aged children and their families to participate in REPRESENT! at the Lyme Art Association. Each session will feature a different artist. We will start by reading the story and talking about the artist, their background, and their style. Then we will get creative and make a fun art project inspired by the book.

This program is designed for children ages 5 through 10, although younger and older children are very welcome! No drop-offs are allowed – parents or guardians must stay and supervise their children. Art projects will be designed for both younger and older elementary-aged children.

 Cost: Program is free; suggested donation per week is $10. Registration required.
