pepper and friends:Art Explorers: Discovering George Caleb Binghams Missouri

Families are invited to join Art Curator Joan Stack for an interactive program in the Art Gallery. Participants will pack a suitcase for a visit back to the nineteenth century, while learning how Bingham paintings document this period in Missouri history (1830-1875). Kids will have hands-on experience with replica clothing, toys, and objects from the past, and each child will decorate a cardboard explorers telescope to take home. The program is designed for children grades K-5 with accompanying adult(s). Limit two children per adult please. The program is free for Society members and families. Non-member fee: $5 per child, adults free. Registration is required by July 8 and can be made by calling (573) 882-7083.
