BLACK EARTH
CHILDREN'S MUSEUM

It's art week - join us to learn from a variety of artists and at the end of the week, participate in the Color Run. After the run, cool off with a drink from the Kona Ice Truck.

Heidi from Center Ground Studio will demonstrate wheel-throwing and hand-building techniques with clay. Create your own tactile work of art.

Nancy will teach tape art. A fun and easy way to show your creative talent.

Central Midwest Ballet Academy will give a short dance demonstration, teach kids some dance step and bring traditional ballet costumes for kids to try on.

Gary will draw caricatures that make everyone smile.

Neal the Real Deal will be at the museum to create fun and engaging balloon art!

Krystal will perform on various instruments while engaging the audience to sing along. Children can contribute using simple instruments to create their own music.

Our Color Run starts at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday June 20th. Come early and purchase your Black Earth Children's Museum t-shirts (3 for $20). It's the perfect shirt for our Color Run where everyone finishes a bit more colorful. We also have Kona Ice from 11:30-1:30 p.m. to cool you down after your run!

Show up in yellow and have a sunshiny day at the museum!
