Details
Bring the whole family to Sheldon for a day of art, words, and creativity with former State Poet of Nebraska Matt Mason. Inspired by Grace Hartigan: The Gift of Attention, Mason will lead interactive poetry activities that transform looking into writing. Discover how visual art can spark imagination and self-expression through poetry, no experience required. Families can also enjoy free snacks, artmaking activities, and other hands-on experiences throughout the museum.
Family Days at Sheldon are free and open to all, but advanced registration is encouraged.
Support provided by Melanie and Jon Gross, Rhonda Seacrest, Nebraska Arts Council and Nebraska Cultural Endowment, Sherwood Foundation, and Sheldon Art Association members.
