Free art kits at ART JAM Drive-Through on Bayou Road

bayou road near broad, New Orleans LA

Description

KID smART’s annual celebration of imagination invites families near and far to create works of art that blend drama, music, creative writing, and visual art with math, science, social studies, and English language arts. Normally an interactive, family-centered block party, this year’s ART JAM takes the form of a FREE, ready-to-create art kit! DRIVE-THROUGH >> The event kicks off with the ART JAM Kit Drive-Through where families will receive their ready-to-go bag of art supplies and other goodies. The Drive-Through will be open from 10am until 1pm CT on Saturday, May 8th, at 2541 Bayou Road. Supplies are limited, so families are encouraged to pre-register for an ART JAM Kit at www.artjam21.eventbrite.com. ART JAM Kit registration is FREE with the option to support KID smART arts education programs in New Orleans public schools. ART JAM can happen anywhere, so participants outside of New Orleans can skip the Drive-Through and access the activities online. ACTIVITIES >> The included arts-integrated activities are easy enough for children to do on their own, but fun enough for the whole family to enjoy together. The activity lineup includes sidewalk chalk poetry, rubber band bands, love drops, family recipes, community-inspired monologues, and more. The full activity lineup will be announced at www.kidsmart.org/artjam on April 28th! RAFFLE >> Your activities can last the day, the month, or until the next ART JAM, but there is a reward for immediate imagination: families that complete at least one activity and submit a photo of their work of art on May 8th will be entered into a raffle to win several prizes!
