LISTEN, LEARN & MAKE
A family that creates together, relates together.

To take a child to a museum is a simple task, to make her relate to an artist - a Herculean challenge.  What better way to get your children to appreciate an artist’s style and skill then to let them exercise their creativity?

Listen, Learn & Make offers a unique opportunity for curious children to explore their world through art and culture. The workshops, offered two Saturdays a month, feature hands-on activities, gallery exploration and storytelling. These workshops are the first step to Global Citizenship! Limited class sizes ensure plenty of personal attention. Listen, Learn & Make workshops are made possible in part by the Annenberg Foundation, with support from the Comerica Charitable Foundation.

Recommended for families with children ages 3 – 12
$6 per child / Family Members and above FREE
1:30 pm – 3:30 pm
