Clarksville, Tennessee: – On Saturday, August 31, 2024, the Customs House Museum and Cultural Center will transform its Family Art Studio into a dreamscape where creativity meets clouds. Families are invited to participate in Family Art Saturday: Cloud Painting, a unique and imaginative experience for artists of all ages.
The event promises to be a fun and hands-on opportunity for children and their parents to learn about brush strokes, colors and the endless possibilities of the sky.
Imagine walking into the studio and for a few moments feeling like you are lying on your back in the grass, looking up at the fluffy clouds drifting lazily across the sky. What do you see? A kite? A butterfly? A funny face? This activity is about capturing those visions in paint – bringing cloud-inspired daydreams to life on canvas.
Participants are encouraged to use their imagination and paint beautiful cloud scenes that reflect their vision of the sky. Whether soft, billowing clouds floating over a brilliant blue background, or imaginative shapes and colors that push the boundaries of reality, each creation is a work of art. The atmosphere will be fun and supportive, with plenty of space for young artists and parents to explore their creativity together.
Family Art Saturday: Cloud Painting is free with museum membership or paid admission and is suitable for children ages 3 and up accompanied by an adult. Parents are not just spectators – they are important partners in this creative journey. The event is designed for families to work together and offers a unique opportunity to connect, laugh and share the joy of artistic expression.
Sessions run from 10am to 12pm and 2pm to 4pm, so families have plenty of opportunity to come along and get creative. All materials are provided, so all you need to bring is your imagination and enthusiasm. Whether you’ve never held a paintbrush before or you’re an experienced artist, the studio is an open sky of possibilities.
Create precious memories with your family and take home your own cloud masterpiece!
