ArtVenture: Catch That Light!

Held the second Sunday of every month, ArtVenture encourages families to play, learn and create together. This month we ask the questions: What if we could hold light in our hands? What would we do with it? Families will experiment with shadows, prisms and more as we think about the way our eyes see the world. More info.
