UW Art Museum to Offer Family Workshop Sept. 10

The University of Wyoming Art Museum will host “Family Saturday Workshop” Saturday, Sept. 10, from 10 a.m.-noon.

“Family Saturday Workshop” will be directed by trained teaching artists and educators to help families make hands-on art inspired by the “Audubon & Van Hoesen: Illustrating Animals” exhibition. Families will learn about local ecosystems and use a variety of natural and man-made materials to create their own three-dimensional habitats. The workshop is free for families and individuals of all ages.
