A CELEBRATION OF PLACE FOR PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE

Ten Easton-based nonprofits will come together, along with local restaurants and businesses, to create CommUNITY Day: Easton Arts & Culture Celebration.

This new event for Talbot County intends to give local residents a way to be outside, support local businesses and enjoy each other’s company during the fall season.

Partners in this weekend offering things to do or see that showcases their community commitment and their individual missions. Some programs will be offered on both days, and some just on Saturday, with programs ranging from family art activities, learning about feeding birds and bird watching, educational lectures, a drive through art gallery, conservation activities, music and many more.

While some activities will be indoors, many will be outside scattered across various locations in Easton to help people remain socially distant and safe. Most activities are free and some require pre-registration.

Every participating organization is following agreed-upon COVID-related safety protocols, including wearing a mask in indoor spaces, limiting family groups to six people and ensuring groups or individuals are safely six feet apart.

The Museum will be having a family art day on Saturday, October 15 from 10-1.  This is part of our Travel the World series and we will be “traveling” to Japan on this day. The event will feature crafts from Japan and we will have some snacks available, too.  Admission is free, but signing up ahead of time is very helpful for us.

 

Family Art Days are designed for children ages 6 and up with their parents, guardians or mentors.

 

According to  the Child Development Institute, “Families can create a harmonious balance in their children’s lives when they make provisions for the arts.” The site goes on to offer lots of ways that parents can incorporate art in their families’ lives and closes by advising, “The most important ingredient in the recipe is your interest. Be there to appreciate and encourage during every step of the creative process.” What better way to spend quality time with your child than to come to the Academy Art Museum and work together on a project? The Family That Makes Art Together Gets SmART Together!
