Three young children sit at a table covered with art supplies, including glue sticks, markers, and papers, focused on making crafts together in a classroom or art studio setting.

Art-tastic Saturday

Sat Jan 3, 11AM–2PM

Healthy Start with Art

First Saturdays of the month are for art fun! Stop by for gallery activities, special presentations, and creative exploration designed for all ages.  We are celebrating the many ways that spending time with art and being creative can help us become happier, healthier, and more resilient human beings.

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.
Join Alexis Espinoza for creative sessions to explore mindful movements through yoga flow, creative activities, music, and relaxation for all ages.
Create a work of art in the studio.
Check out our Art Cart station, 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; 11 am, Dripping Earth: Cannupa Hanska Luger; and at 1 pm, The Joslyn’s Highlights. Free, drop-in experiences.
The Founder’s Room is designated as a quiet space for this event.   
Due to the generous support of Art Bridges Foundation’s Access for All program, Dripping Earth: Cannupa Hanska Luger, is free to all today; always free to Joslyn members. 
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, the Nebraska Arts Council and the Nebraska Cultural Endowment, Omaha Steaks, a gift in memory of Matthew W. Gress, and a gift in loving memory of Peggy Severson.

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