Artpark’s “Family Weekends” Celebrates “Art & Science!”

(Lewiston, NY)  Artpark's final, free "Family Weekends" event of 2008 will explore the nuances of "Art & Science" on August 2-3 with a plethora of themed creative happenings that include still life drawings, fun with fossils, skeleton illustrations, paper marbling, fun with non-toxic slime, lemon juice paintings and a New York State Parks demonstration (Saturday ONLY) on area flowers and animal life.

All "Family Weekends" take place on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 4pm in Artpark's Outdoor Amphitheater, and also feature an array of traditional art endeavors like clay work, face-painting, drawing and dress-up.

Artpark's "Family Weekends" also includes a "Tot Spot," consisting of a selection of simplified art happenings, a sandbox, fun with earthmovers and other goings-on for children ages two through five.

Artpark's family and children's programming is made possible in part by the generous support of the Modern Corporation, the Town of Lewiston and the Niagara County Legislature.

For a full schedule of 2008 events, call the Artpark Box Office at (716) 754-4375 or visit artpark.net.
