Create Your Own Seascape Work Of Art At Lighthouse Museum

STONINGTON BOROUGH, CT — Together the Stonington Historical Society and the Mystic Museum of Art are excited to offer a free, intergenerational family program at the Lighthouse Museum in Stonington on Saturday, Aug. 20 and Sunday, Aug. 21. Drop in any time between 10 a.m. and noon.

This site-specific free program will take place outside the Lighthouse Museum in Stonington at 7 Water Street. Children of all ages and their families are welcome, though children must be accompanied by a family member or adult for the program.

Artists have used the sea to inspire their creations throughout history. Come participate in this
tradition and create your own Seascape based on the spectacular view of Stonington’s harbor, Connecticut’s only port facing the Atlantic. Using collage materials to include decorative papers, and other assorted multimedia for added detail, children with their families
will create hand-made postcards inspired by the views from Stonington’s iconic lighthouse.

After the program, families will have the option of exploring the lighthouse and take in Stonington’s rich seafaring history. Families are also invited to picnic on the grassy lighthouse grounds that face Little Narragansett Bay toward Watch Hill and Napatree Point in Rhode Island.

Space is limited, so it's asked that families pre-register here.
