Don't miss this exciting exhibition featuring artwork created by our talented young artists! Prepare to be dazzled. This exhibit showcases a variety of styles and techniques, a testament to our unique process-based, nature-inspired curriculum at the Children's Art Studio Richmond, currently located at the West County First 5 Center.  From watercolor to installation, you'll be amazed by the talent and passion these young artists pour into their work. This is a truly inspiring event for the whole family, so come discover the future of the art world and celebrate the boundless creativity of our young learners.

This exhibition draws inspiration from an important historical connection. This exhibition isn't just about showcasing our talented young artists; it's about honoring a legacy. Richmond's Child Care Centers, active from 1943-1966, pioneered the integration of arts education into childcare. The Children's Art Studio Richmond proudly carries this torch, fostering creativity in the next generation. This exhibition delves into the history of the original movement sparked during the Homefront era. Visitors can explore the Museum's archived artworks, photographs, and documents that bring this era to life.

Don't miss this chance to witness the vibrant creativity of our young artists, inspired by child-led learning and echoing the pioneering spirit of the Richmond Child Care Centers.
