Six-Week Cultural Art Workshop For Kids Kicks Off This Spring

NEW HYDE PARK, NY —The Town of North Hempstead is partnering with the Crayola Imagine Arts Academy of Long Island to offer a six-week art workshop for children.

The workshop, dubbed Artist's Passport Travel the World Through Art, will be held this spring at Michael J. Tully Park.

"The classes will allow children to embark on an around-the-world cultural adventure," Town officials said in a statement. "Children can explore far-off places and learn about the people who live there, from the Americas to the Ivory Coast, from the cosmopolitan to the countryside."

The workshop will focus on creating a different craft each week — including a dot art canvas, a miniature Pakistani bus, an imperial Russian egg, and a mud art painting on fabric.

Advance registration is required. Classes will be held on Saturday, March 5, 12, 19, 26, as well as April 2 and 9. They are designed for children in grades 1 through 5.

There will be two 60-minute sessions. Session 1 will be held from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. and session 2 will be held from 3 to 4 p.m. The cost of the program is $160 and will include all materials.
