FAMILY FUN IN DECEMBER AT THE MFAH! Each Sunday offers a new opportunity to explore the theme of How Artists Get Their Ideas.

At Creation Station, families can create a print and weave with ribbons and paper strips to create their own work of art. Sketching in the Galleries takes visitors into a display of prints and drawings and the African art gallery. Gallery Investigations offers opportunities to explore the lithography printing process and the kente cloth tradition in Ghana, Africa. Sunday Storytime will feature the books Madeline and Anansi the Spider: A Tale from the Ashanti.

Take an "Art Break" during Winter Break Week: You´ll have three opportunities to take an "art break" with Sketching in the Galleries programs Dec. 28, 29, and 30. Each day will be in a different location, and all materials are provided!

All programs are subject to change. For more information on programs and to get the latest updates, visit mfah.org/calendar.
