Become part of the Museum's newest exhibit!

Children ages 8–12 are invited to participate in WACM's Global Art Exchange, a special three-part workshop series inspired by Freedom to Celebrate: Children Sharing Stories Through Art, featuring artwork created by children in Kenya.

• Discover how artists use symbols, colors, and imagery to tell stories
• Create original artwork inspired by freedom, celebration, and cultural identity

Important

This is a three-part workshop series. Participants must attend all three sessions, as each workshop builds upon the previous one and contributes to the final artwork and exhibit experience.

Artwork created during the series will be displayed at the World Awareness Children's Museum before being shared with children in Kenya as part of the ongoing cultural exchange.
