Summer Kids Classes @ UMFA (SLC: July 6 - 30)

Summer Fun for Kids at the UMFA

Salt Lake City – School is out, the kids are bored, and parents are looking for something fun and educational for their children to do this summer. This July, the Utah Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA) is presenting three classes for kids from preschoolers to preteens. Parents can register their children by calling 801-581-6984. Each class is $80 plus a $20 special fee.

List of classes:

Making Art: Mom, Dad, and Me
Session 1 July 6 through 9 • 10 am–12 pm
Session 2 July 13 through 16 • 10 am–12 pm
A class for parents and their pre-schoolers, ages 2-5. We will create one-of-a-kind paintings, masks, sculptures, and frames for beginning artists, with storytelling, hands-on art objects, and strolls through the galleries.

Colors of Mexico: July 19 through 22 • 10 am–12:30 pm
Las Artes de Mexico will inspire colorful activities, stories, songs, and games in this class for kids ages 6-12. Participants will discover white skeletons, green jade, and elaborate red costumes, and become world travelers as they explore the beautiful art, language, and culture of Mexico!

Young Curators: July 27 through 30 • 10 am–12:30 pm
Pre-teens ages 9–12 will have a blast discovering the UMFA behind the scenes by touring the Museum, investigating objects and materials, participating in hands-on art activities, and curating their own exhibition.
