The Kids are Alright



It’s only our first couple weeks open with the Patricia Patterson exhibition, but the kids have already invaded the museum space! School tours and Art Smart are in full swing and it has been fun watching these fresh faces come through and feeling their excitement in response to the artwork. Art exposure for school aged children is an awesome thing that the Center provides, especially in an economical climate that includes budget cuts to art programs within the schools themselves. Anyway, the kids LOVE all the colors in Patricia's work, and while Patterson’s potato bed installation looks strikingly similar to a sandbox, it’s been hard convincing these little ones to keep out. ;-)
