Our Favorite Projects of 2020

Virtual Family Art Night Week: Jan 1-7, 2021

For the first month of this new year, we're putting a fun twist on our Free Family Art Night Virtual Series. Instead of one project, we've asked our team to take a look back at all of our #CreateInPlace projects from 2020 and select their favorite.

Which one project did you like best? Be sure to look for our staff picks each night this week!

Pick #1

“The Marbled Paper project was my favorite because art lets you be messy, and the reveal is like magic.” — Susan Richmond, Museum Director

Pick #2

“The Botanical Mandalas project was my favorite because I love making art with nature.” — Michelle Davidson, Gallery & Volunteer Coordinator

Pick #3

“The Magazine Drawing & Painting project was my favorite because I love mixed media and it's fun for all ages and skill levels.” — Amber Green, Manager of Marketing & Online Programs

Pick #4

Coming January 4!

“The Botanical Prints project was my favorite because the natural leaf shapes can be arranged in many ways to create a visually pleasing work of art.” — Janett Taylor, Garden Artisan

Pick #5

“The Memory Game project was my favorite because you can be super creative drawing the tiles and then end up with a fun brain game for all ages to enjoy.” — Kristin Heron, Curator of Education, Outreach & Exhibitions

Pick #6

“I have a definitely “not green’’ thumb so the Cardboard Cactus was a natural pick for me, extremely low maintenance!” — Kathy Kelly, Communications Coordinator

Pick #7

“The Printmaking with Sandpaper & Crayons project was my favorite because it is simple for anyone to create (as long as children have an adult do the hot iron part). It is going to look exciting and be a success no matter what you draw!” — Linda King, Weekend Artisan
