Summer Art Workshops for Kids

The museum offers all-day workshops for kids during the summer—Fridays at the Figge classes for children completing grades K–5, and Art in the Middle classes for middle school students. All workshops are held 9 am–4 pm. Sign up for a single session or for the whole series. Each workshop is taught by a different instructor with new theme-related projects each year. Cost includes all supplies. Kids should bring a sack lunch, beverage and snack to class. Check back in the spring for summer 2020 classes!

Boy Scout Programs

Boy Scouts of all ages can have fun learning experiences while earning arts and crafts badges/patches at the Figge Art Museum. A guided tour of the Figge's permanent galleries and traveling exhibitions is included in each workshop.  Badge workshops are 3-hour events and include completion of all requirements for the particular badge the boys are working towards.

We also offer non-badge workshops through our Partner Program.  Scout packs can schedule one of these 2-hour events that includes a guided museum tour and a studio art experience.  Activities accomplished in a Partner Program can be often be applied toward one of the art badges in the Boy Scout manual. Registration is required a minimum of 2 weeks before the scheduled event.  A minimum of 10 Scouts/workshop is required. Call 563.345-6655 or kvandercoy@figgeartmuseum.org to schedule a workshop.
