Annual Silvermine School Of Art Children’s Halloween Art Party Set For Oct. 22

From the Silvermine Arts Center: On Sunday afternoon, October 22, the Annual Silvermine School of Art Children’s Halloween Art party will give kids a wildly creative afternoon of art, sweet treats, games and a Halloween parade around the Silvermine campus. All ages are welcome.

Silvermine School of Art teachers Marta Violette Kot, Megan Collins, Caroline Lethbridge, Jessica Hughes, Inez Andrucyk, Robin McCahill, and Jon Puzzuoli will guide children in creative mask making, clay skull making, and glow-in-the-dark spin-art design and painting. Kids will also paint a mural inspired by the season and join in a costume parade lead by puppeteer, Adelka Polak (though costumes are optional). For each child, there will be sweet treats, a Halloween movie, a goodie bag, and lots of Halloween art projects to bring home. This is always a popular event; please call or register ahead of time (silvermineart.org) so the Silvermine staff can have plenty of art supplies for each child’s projects. Tickets are $20 per child. An adult must accompany children, but the adults enter free. Call the Silvermine School of Art office 203-966-6668, ext. 2, to register. Walk-ins are also welcome.
