Represent! A Fun-filled Family Program at Lyme Art Association

Represent! A fun-filled family program featuring the art of award-winning illustrators. Join us on Sunday, February 2 at 2 pm at the Lyme Art Association for the next book and special art project! Program is free, but registration required; suggested donation per week is $10.

At Lyme Art Association (LAA), we are all about representational art – but what exactly is representational art? What does it mean to represent something or someone artistically? And whose stories and experiences are being represented? Join us monthly for a fun-filled exploration of fabulous artists whose diverse backgrounds and artistic styles bring stories to life!

We invite elementary-aged children and their families to participate in REPRESENT! at the LAA. Each session will feature a different artist. We start by reading the story and talking about the artist, their background, and their style. Then we will get creative and make a fun art project inspired by the book.

This program is designed for children ages 5 through 10, although younger and older children are very welcome! No drop-offs are allowed – parents or guardians must stay and supervise their children. Art projects will be designed for both younger and older elementary-aged children. Represent! is generously supported by PARJE: Public Art for Racial Justice Education.

February 2nd: Represent! Featured story and artists are There Was a Party for Langston by Jason Reynolds, illustrated by Jerome Pumphrey & Jarrett Pumphrey. Learn how brothers Jerome Pumphrey & Jarrett Pumphrey work together to create art.
