Art Drop-Ins for Kids and Self-Care Sunday
Various dates throughout January
Lynden Sculpture Garden
2145 W. Brown Deer Road

Lynden offers two “Art Drop-Ins” throughout January: One for children age 11 and up every Wednesday and one for children age 6-11 every Thursday. Kids can stay for 30 minutes or for a couple hours; visit weekly or stop by when an after-school activity is desired; bring a friend or sibling or go alone. Each week, Lynden introduces different materials, processes and themes and gets them started on a project. Also, Sunday, Jan. 13, sees the inauguration of Lynden’s “Self-Care Sundays.” From 2-4 p.m., join artist, author and activist Jenna Knapp for this series of workshops focusing on self-care techniques, including the creation of your very own trading card with an emphasis on self-love affirmations.
