Art-Tastic Saturday

Sat Oct 4, 11AM–2PM

Falling for Art

First Saturdays of the month are for art fun! Stop by for gallery activities, special presentations, and creative exploration designed for all ages. This month, celebrate the seasonal changes in nature, captured in many works of art throughout the Museum.

A look at the fun this month from 11 am–2 pm: 

Begin at our Welcome Table in the Hawks Pavilion! Pick up a program and map for the day. We can let you know about membership opportunities, upcoming programs, our Bloomberg Connects digital guide, and Art Card self-guide resources. We also can help with any accessibility needs.  
Out & About Storytime with Omaha Public Library, 11 am; get comfortable in the Community Room for this storytime program. There also will be opportunities to learn more about all the great things happening at area libraries.
Watch a landscape painting demonstration by local artist Debra Joy Groesser.
Visit our Garden Art Cart to look at plants and talk with Mi’oux Stabler (Umoⁿhoⁿ), Prairiescape Designer, about their importance in Indigenous peoples’ lives. (Please note: if there is inclement weather, we will move inside)
Create your own nature-inspired work of art with teaching artist Stephanie Carlson-Pruch
Check out an Art Cart station in the Museum, with opportunities to touch hands-on materials and talk about art with our friendly Gallery Volunteers. 
Drop-In Sketching! We have all the materials you need for sketching—a great way to slow down and look carefully at what you see.    
Join a public tour, led by our Gallery Volunteers, at 1 pm, The Joslyn’s Highlights. Free, drop-in experience.
The Founder’s Room is designated as a quiet space for this event, stocked with an array of books and games.    
Don’t forget to check out more great spaces—The Cafe offers food and drink for sale.* The Shop has beautiful art items for all ages and interests. If you are part of an intergenerational group, be sure to visit Art Works: A Place for Curiosity, an interactive space with nine different art activity stations (children must be accompanied by adults).

Generous support provided by Art Bridges Foundation’s Access for All program.

Sponsorship for this program series provided by FNBO and Omaha Steaks.
