If you are planning a “staycation” in Delaware this summer, be sure to include a Biggs Museum Summer workshop or ArtVenture on your itinerary! The Biggs Museum will host a wide and diverse array of summer programming for all ages during June, July and August 2010.

Young artists can spend their summer days with Bigsby the Bumblebee at the Summer ArtVentures: four unique half-day art adventures designed to inspire creativity by creating original works of art. Each ArtVenture is led by the Museum’s Educator and is held in the Museum for one day from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. ArtVenture Participants can register for one or all ArtVentures.Decorate a beach fishbowl and create a paper bag whale at ‘Under the Sea’, construct a mask in ‘Flower Power’, create a ‘buzzing’ bumblebee in ‘Bug-a-rama’, or create a high flying kite in ‘Outdoor Delight’! The Summer ArtVentures program fee is $25/ArtVenture for Family Members and $30/ArtVenture for Not-Yet Family Members. All materials are provided for the ArtVentures.

Art activities of this summer’s adult workshops include crochet, jewelry making, and decoupage. Those who prefer hands-on food instead of craft will enjoy Art at Lunch: Fruit and Vegetable Canning on Wednesday, June 16. If fitness and health is of interest, the Biggs Museum is offering three Museum Yoga sessions on Tuesday evenings in June and July 2010.
