Drop-In & CREATE Saturday: POP into Art!

Young artists can explore the bold, colorful world of Andy Warhol at this drop-in creative session at the Huntsville Museum of Art. Kids will learn about the pop art pioneer's life and artistic style before making their own Warhol-inspired creations using printmaking techniques. It's a hands-on introduction to one of modern art's most influential figures, presented in a way that makes sense for elementary and middle school-aged children. The program runs from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 15, in the museum's Stender Family Interactive Education Galleries ART LAB at 300 Church Street S.W. in downtown Huntsville. Admission is completely free for both kids and their parents or guardians, making this an accessible weekend activity for families. The drop-in format means you can arrive anytime during the two-hour window and stay as long as your child is engaged. While the activity is designed to be family-friendly for all ages, it's especially well-suited for children ages 5 to 14 who enjoy hands-on art projects. The printmaking component gives kids a real taste of artistic techniques beyond crayons and markers, while the connection to Warhol's recognizable style helps them understand how everyday images can become art. This monthly series is sponsored by the Huntsville Museum of Art Guild and Rotary Club of Greater Huntsville.
