Philadelphia Art Museum has a great line up this summer. Art Splash is the name of the Philadelphia Art museums Family center programs. I got a sneak peek the events last week.

They have a Exhibited “All Dressed Up” vintage Fashion for the whole family the events will be up for an entire year From Dec 2012- Dec 2013 I loved see in the clothes of the past. The also provided an area for you to create your designs. My inner Fashion Designer loved this exhibit.. See above is a sneak peek.

They also have an Exhibit called Candy Coated Wonderland which is a installation done by local Philadelphia Artist (formerly Candy Depew) The art work is whimsical and fun. The kids who attended enjoyed the exhibit and seeing the Old vintage clothes mixed in with the new.

I also got a sneak peek in to the modern gallery which was featuring “Design or the Modern Child”. I enjoyed seeing designs from kids from the past and very much present. The gallery was not open yet so we could no take pictures but it was a fun gallery for the entire family. I cant wait to bring my kids.

The Art splash at the has a whole host of events every week all summer long. I highly recommend heading do with the kids. Thanks to Melinda at LookWhatMomFound for her daughter in this picture.

This past weekend my children got to experience Palette Kids art class in Philadelphia it is a art studio for kids. The art classes are given by Perry Milou a Philadelphia artist. The art class was lovely. Perry taught the kids about figures, and how to draw them. He had several assistants to assist the kids. Then he allowed the children to pick a project to make and create. I have to say I love the vibe of the studio. It was a real art studio with art that fosters creativity, not some pristine art space that is uninspired. The inspiration of the space allowed and beckons the children to imagine and create. Some kids did 3 d art, painting, clay, and jewelry.

When school are cutting art budgets. Children are no longer allowed to use really clay in our schools any more. The are using a commercial crayon company clay like product, which I find extremely disappointing in the public school system. At Palette Kids, Perry’s allows the kids to use really clay and create. Check out my sons project.

Palette kid offers classes and this summer Art Classes special Come to your 1st class and bring a friend for free. $40 for a 2 hour class with one of the most amazing pop arts teachers Perry Milou of Philadelphia. His classes are an amazing gift for any child. The idea age is 5 to teens. They also offer Philadelphia birthday parties for your budding artist.

I can highly recommend Palette Kids both my children hope to return and learn from Perry Milou again.
