Free Art Venture Community Day – September

Come explore Opposites Abstract: A Mo Willems Exhibit and have some hands-on fun with nearly two dozen interactive stations during this Free Art Venture Community Day!

You’re no doubt familiar with Mo – he’s the author and illustrator of bestselling children’s classics like Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!, the Elephant and Piggie series, and more.

Explore the galleries to check out the 20 original works created by Mo himself, step into The Glassroom to play with the interactives, then swing into Art Venture to paint, draw, build, connect music with art, investigate 3D printing and printmaking, create sculptures, display artwork, and much more!

In addition, there will be three performances the Crankie and Puppet show, Dr. Burrell and His Amazing Horse Pillbox. These performances are part of the Gainsboro Neighborhood Activation, led by Resident Artist Jane Gabrielle McCadden. The works included in this spotlight were created between 2024-2025 by McCadden in collaboration with the Gainsboro community. Through this work, the community tells the story of Dr. Isaac David Burrell, a physician and pharmacist who operated a Gainsboro clinic and the Burrell Pharmacy. A vital and committed member of the Gainsboro community, Burrell Memorial Hospital is named to honor his life and memory.

Dr. Burrell and His Amazing Horse Pillbox Performance times will be at 10:30am, 11:00am, and 11:30am.

Opposites Abstract and Art Venture are free on Saturday, September 13, thanks to the generous support of British Swim School.

No registration required – walk-ins welcome!
