Art for the Homebound
Our mind is our passport to anywhere we want to go!These art boxes will help guide your mind to places all over the world (and back in time, too!) while you’re stuck at home. You’ll visit famous artists and artwork, historic places (and hidden spaces), and have all the materials you need to create art inspired by all the places you visit!
Choose the theme you like best, and we'll ship you everything you need for 5 unique art projects. This includes written instructions that kids can read and follow on their own (with art history elements threaded throughout) and the supplies needed for the projects. Most projects will take an hour or so to finish and can be expanded and enhanced using the accompanying virtual tours and other online resources we'll provide links to. AND... we'll host a Zoom meeting on April 22nd. During this time, all the artists can share what they made with their kit with one another and our Youth Programs Manager, Miss Lisa! |

Themes to choose from:
Water, Water Everywhere $50 per box
This kit is all about exploring bodies of water large and small. We’ll explore rivers as far away as the Amazon and as close as the Missouri, creatures that live all the way at the bottom of the ocean as well as in a shallow creek bed. We’ll also explore artists like Andy Goldsworthy who uses the flow of water to make his artwork move and change!
(Not-So-Secret) Gardens $50 per box
With this box we’ll travel around the world visiting famous gardens (like the one that inspired many of Matisse’s famous paintings!) and we’ll also spend time learning about the plants and flowers right in your own backyard or neighborhood.
Cact-i & You $50 per box
Don’t forget your imaginary sunscreen, 'cause we’re heading into the desert! We’ll explore the beautiful and unique landscapes of deserts all around the world, and explore artists like Georgia O’Keefe whose work was inspired by the beauty and mystery of the desert landscape.
