Join Krannert Art Museum educators and librarians from The Urbana Free Library for Artventures for Kids!—an interactive Saturday program designed for children (ages 5+) with their families and caregivers. Each session features a storytime inspired by artworks on view, followed by playful gallery exploration that connects the stories to the art. The experience wraps up with open-ended artmaking led by guest artists, inspired by the exhibition. Experience the museum in a fun, welcoming way that sparks creativity, curiosity, and imagination for the whole family. You are welcome to listen, explore, and create together!
Presented in partnership with The Urbana Free Library. Krannert Art Museum acknowledges support from the Illinois Arts Council.
