Press release from Hamden Department of Arts and Culture:

July 14, 2020

The Hamden Arts Commission, in collaboration with the Hamden Dept. of Arts and Culture and the Hamden Public Schools Dept. of Fine Arts, are providing summer art kits to the first 48 families that request one. The kits are stocked with variations of classic arts supplies, like water color sets, brushes, markers, pencils and more, and are paired with a list of inspiring projects as put together by the HPS Fine Arts Dept.

The kits are meant to encourage families to explore the arts as an outlet of expression and creativity, together, especially in a time of social disconnect and isolation.

“I’m so looking forward to seeing all the amazing artwork that our Hamden Children will be creating and sharing with the town… I’m also proud to be a part of the Hamden Arts Commission that is bringing joy and color to the children of Hamden through all this uncertainty” says Arts Commissioner, Loraine Brown.

Kits are available upon request using the Hamden.com web request link below and will be dispersed for pick-up only at the Hamden Farmers Markets (Miller Library 2901, Dixwell Ave.) on Thursdays between 4-6pm.
