Snow Much Fun

The weather might be unseasonably warm, but you can expect plenty of snow at the Contemporary Arts Center this Saturday.

The Winter Family Festival, on Jan. 10, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., will offer snow-themed art projects and science experiments for the whole family/

Guest artist Lindsay Nehls will create hand-drawn temporary tattoos of frosty winter creatures, and a hot chocolate warm up station with marshmallows and whip cream. Attendees can also make a tiny snow globe using recycled materials with the CAC's Artist in Residence, Bear Vogt.

Science also takes center stage, with ice and snow experiments at the science sensory exploration station. Plus you can make homemade hand warmer and learn how an everyday chemical reaction can keep your fingers toasty, since it will inevitably get cold again!

Guests can take part in an epic indoor snowball battle and build a giant snow fort, then warm up at a hot chocolate station, because marshmallows and whip cream make everything better. 

The best way to beat the winter blues is with creative art making and snowy stories! This program is free with CAC 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.
