Friday, June 16, 11:00 am – 3:00 pm at RAM’s Wustum Museum

In celebration of the Racine Art Museum’s Twentieth Anniversary, create art inspired by the past, present, and future—all to go into your personal time capsule! Kids and families can create multiple art projects, play art games, go on scavenger hunts, and so much more!

As part of the museum’s commitment to supporting local and regional artists and partnerships, families will have the opportunity to meet two special guest artists! Get to know printmaker and University of Wisconsin–Parkside artist-in-resident Roberto Torres Mata, as well as a featured artist from Black Futures 2—an exhibition of artists invited by Mahogany Gallery as part of Futures Reimagined: RAM Community Art Show. See what these talented artists are creating, and get the inside scoop on how their art will sustain well into the future!

All children must be accompanied by an adult—one for every four children, please.
