Spring Quarter First Saturday Family Day Activities

April 4: Styrofoam Block Printing
Design and create your own block print! Participants will create their own unique print by drawing on styrofoam then using printer’s ink to stamp their art on paper. Make sure to print an extra for us to hang in the classroom!

May 2: Folk Art Fish
Come create your own folk art-inspired fish! Folk art is unique in it’s loose, simple designs and vibrant color. Paint your own colorful fish and, while it dries in the classroom, explore the galleries with a scavenger hunt!

June 6: Accordion Art
Join us in the studio to create your own accordion-fold art that will stand up on it’s own! Fold, cut, and color your paper to create a unique landscape or cityscape!

Youth Art Education Policy

Outside of tours, family days, and open house events, individuals who are not enrolled in a class are not allowed in WMA classrooms except by written permission of the Executive Director. Parents may not join children in the classroom during instruction times in order to ensure an atmosphere conductive to creativity. It is important to limit the number of adults to keep the focus on the kids, their learning, and to accommodate limited seating in the studio. Parents are welcome to stay in the museum during class but must remain outside of the classroom during instruction time.

Museum educators are experienced in creating positive learning environments for all ages and are required to go through a background check to ensure the safety of our students. Parents and guardians are encouraged to visit the studio at the end of class to see what their child has created. All docents and volunteers working with children are also required to go through background checks.

Thank you for understanding our policy and priority on the safety and well-being of participating students.

Refund Policy

The Wiregrass Museum of Art may cancel any class with insufficient enrollment; students will be notified and given a full refund. If a student withdraws at least 1 week before the class begins, he/she will be refunded for the full cost of the class. If a student withdraws 24 hours before the class begins, he/she will be refunded for half the cost of the class. There are no refunds after the start date of class, and membership fees are nonrefundable. Students are not enrolled until complete payment is received.
