Kentler International Drawing Space
Art Education Program
(aka K.I.D.S. Art Education)

is proud to present
“Drawing Together”
Weekend Family Workshops


What is it?
Led by our professional Teaching Artists “Drawing Together” Family Workshops are an opportunity to explore contemporary art and/or the neighborhood of Red Hook through games, art making, poems, outdoor explorations and more!!

Our goal is to provide rich art explorations for children and adults that teach skills related to looking at and making art but that also help you and your child to create, look, and explore TOGETHER.

Where is it?
Programs take place at the gallery (though sometimes may meander to neighborhood spots so come prepared for outdoor drawing just in case).
353 Van Brunt Street between Wolcott and Dikeman Streets
