Kids' Sculpture Workshop During School Vacation Week

The Cyrus Dallin Art Museum will sponsor a children’s sculpture workshop on Sunday, February 16 from 1:00 – 3:00 P.M. The workshop is being offered during school vacation and is designed for children in grades 1 through 4. Learn how, as a child, Cyrus Dallin taught himself to sculpt by observing the wildlife and people around him. The program will feature an age-appropriate tour of the galleries and a hand-building workshop during which children will learn how to build armatures and work clay to create the...ir own sculptures. A materials fee of $20 is due on the day of the program (families with more than one child attending will be charged a reduced fee of $15 for each additional registrant).

Because of the popularity of this workshop, it is recommended that you register early. Space is limited. E-mail info@dallin.org to register. Please include the child’s name and age, parent’s phone, e-mail, and mailing address so the museum can contact you with any updated information. A parent or other adult should plan to accompany the child at this workshop.

The mission of the Cyrus Dallin Art Museum is to advance the legacy of the celebrated American sculptor, Cyrus Dallin, who lived and worked in Arlington, Massachusetts, by collecting, preserving and exhibiting items related to the artist’s life and work, and by serving as a vital educational resource for the community of Arlington and beyond.
