Parents Love Museum Adventures

Here’s what parents are saying about Museum Adventures:

“Your tours offer what many parents want to give to their kids and may not know exactly how.”

“You do a great job introducing sophisticated material to the kids– without dumbing it down nor having it go over their heads. That’s a tricky balance and you do it well!”

“Claire is amazing and really knows her stuff when it comes to art theory and art history. You can tell she really loves working with kids and loves art.”

Tour of Africa at the Met!

Check out the big smailes from all of the fun we had!

Dali-inspired Melting Clocks!

Art Adventures Studio embossed and built their own Dali-inspired functioning clocks! Clocks were designed and constructed to reflect the “melting” of Dali’s famous clocks.

You and your child can make your own (a great Father’s Day gift) this Saturday, June 1st @4-5:30pm – contact us!

Learn about SCULPTURE with Elmo!

We love Sesame Street, so on April 18th, when the word of the day was SCULPTURE, we couldn’t have been more excited. Children who have been on our Museum Adventures tours may recognize some of the artists: Rodin, Brancusi, and David Smith.

Studio Visit with Grimanesa Amoros

Wow! Grimanesa Amoros: Beauty, Bubbles, Light, Lines & Fun!

On my always engaging tour today with Riva Blumenfeld of http://www.blumenfeldfineart.com/.

Mrs. Amoros took the time to take us on a journey through bubble islands, lines of lights and even into Times Square’s installation for the Armory show (Did you see it?)

These pieces made me feel extra serene, relaxed and even tickled somehow!

Now I’m working on a kid-friendy version- So watch our Art Adventures, here comes more fun!
