Stop by the CAC for a Family Festival and join in on the fun! Guest artists and educators, with a talent for creative learning, have developed unique art and science projects geared specifically for families. Projects use unusual materials and processes that artists of all ages can enjoy. This program is free with admission. Children 18 and under are free.
Family Festival is made possible by the Charles H. Dater Foundation, the Robert & Adele Schiff Family Foundation, the Eleanora C. U. Alms Trust, Fifth Third Bank, and the Louise Taft Semple Foundation.
