Spring Break is Here!!

Spring Break week is upon us and we are ready with some great activities at the Lauren Rogers Museum of Art. On Tuesday, March 13, we will have our annual Spring Break Festival on the front lawn of the museum from 1:00 to 3:00 P.M. We have several great art activities, live music from Kristie Reddoch, and Joe McGee from the Mississippi Museum of Natural History will be on hand with live animals! The best part of the festival is that the whole thing is FREE! So bring the kids out and have a great time. Just before the festival there will be a book reading and signing of Darby Does the Met by Kathy Elzey and illustrated by Adam Trest.  Both of them will be on hand for the event.

Spring Break Art Break will be for the rest of the week for elementary age children. This class is full, but sign up the kids for our next class, Kids' Pottery. Pottery class will be every Tuesday afternoon in April from 3:30 to 5:00 P.M. The cost is $40 for museum members and $50 for non-members. Call now and reserve your child's spot at (601) 649-6374.

There is still time for adults to sign up for our Girls' Night Art class, which will be held on Thursday, March 29 from 6:00 to 9:00 in the Carriage House Studio. Participants will create a finished painting in this class.  Bring your friends and something to drink for a great girls' night.  The cost for the class is $50 for museum members and $60 for non-members. 

We hope that you can join us for some of these great spring events at LRMA!
