The Shafer Art Gallery will host a free Family Day event this summer, open to all ages from 9 a.m. to noon July 11.
The event is inspired by the current exhibition, “Collector’s Edition,” and will offer hands-on activities highlighting the fun and meaning behind collecting. Attendees can enjoy interactive games, creative activity stations, and snacks, all designed to encourage curiosity and engagement. Local businesses and community organizations will also participate, offering collection-themed booths, giveaways, and more.
No registration is required. Families are encouraged to attend and explore the world of collecting.
The Shafer Gallery is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is always free. For more information, contact Gallery Director Alyssa Bliven at shafergallery@bartonccc.edu or (620) 792-9342.
