Free Family Day at Hudgens Center for the Arts

Pond at the Hudgens

Beat the heat and enjoy Free Family Day at The Hudgens!

Saturday, August 7
10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Participants will help create a large transparent window scene of a koi pond, meant to complement the existing koi pond in the sculpture garden.

There will also be a fun make & take art project for kids to create their own koi fish collage from colorful scraps of magazine, using the same basic techniques used by Tom Nakashima in creating the large scale collage works of art in the exhibit.

Both art projects will take place between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., so be sure to come early in order to enjoy those activities.  Participation is free and open to the public.

Family Day also includes a self-directed scavenger hunt in the garden, access to the children's Art Zone, and free entry to all the current exhibits.

Here are my easy directions -
How to get there from Snellville: Take Scenic Highway 124 toward Lawrenceville, but turn left on Sugarloaf Parkway (by the McDonald's). Then take Sugarloaf all the way into Duluth. Turn left into the parking lot for the Gwinnett Arena. Look for the building with what looks like a giant robot attached to the front (how could you miss that, right?)

On Saturday, February 13, 2010 the Hudgens Center for the Arts will have Family Day. Family Day means free admission for everyone to the Hudgens from 10 am until 12 noon.

Artists from Tannery Row, the Buford Artists Colony (whose works are currently in the Tannery Row: Selected Works exhibit) will give demonstrations, and there will be 'make & take' art projects for children and their families to enjoy. Come experience all three new art exhibits, live art demonstrations and the Children's Art Zone!

While you're there, be sure to also check out the small Japanese style garden. (Pictured below) Really pretty!
