In collaboration with Hospice of Marion County, the Appleton is offering a special program for children and families. Ages 7-12 and accompanying adults are invited to create artwork to commemorate difficulties faced during the pandemic or through the loss of a loved one. Two dates are being offered, September 25 and October 9, each with a different curriculum.
Workshops are free, and participants may enroll in one or both dates.
There is a fee for in-person workshops. Those interested may visit the Appleton Museum of Art website for more information and registration prior to attending all events.
