Event Details:

Join the Vernon Public Art Gallery on the last Friday of every month for a diverse exploration of art-making materials and art processes through age-appropriate art activities. They invite parents and guardians to bring their little ones under the age of 5 to explore art-making with non-toxic materials in this fun and social program that encourages creative self-expression while developing fine and gross motor skills and sensory awareness. Make sure you dress for the mess as all are invited to join in on the fun!
