Children's hands-on Art Activities

All of the Children's Hands-On activities are FREE and open to kids of all ages. Hours: Saturday 10 am-5 pm and Sunday 11 am-4 pm.

Saturday, June 25th, 10AM - 5PM

Presented by the Quincy Art Center

The Quincy Art Center will be providing free children's "Artivities" with a Japanese theme that, between you and me, is quite fishy.  With our creativity we will beckon the wind to send our handmade Koinobori soaring. A koinobori is a traditional Japanese fish wind sock. We will also explore tactile and visual texture as we ink, rub, and print from rubber molds of fish.  Gyotaku is a traditional form of Japanese fish printing used by fishermen to record their catches.
