Target Free Family Fun Sundays at the Anton Art Center

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. – Target Free Family Fun Sundays begin Sunday, October 18 at the Anton Art Center, with a mask-making project just in time for Halloween. Drop in anytime between 1-4 pm and get your creative juices flowing!

Sponsored by the Target Corporation, Target Free Family Fun Sundays will run monthly at the Anton Art Center in downtown Mount Clemens through September 2010. Families and kids of all ages are welcome to drop in.

One Sunday each month from 1-4 pm, a professional artist will lead participants in making a themed project. No reservations are required, and activities are suitable for ages three and older. Come for fifteen minutes or for an hour, and try your hand at something new.

All activities are free, but donations will be accepted to support the Anton Art Center’s programming.

Other upcoming Target Free Family Fun Sundays include paper ornaments November 22, with led by Birmingham artist Alison Wong; and silk tie-dying December 13, with Mount Clemens artist Patty Urda.

This program gives children and families a fantastic opportunity to work side-by-side with a fine artist from the metro Detroit community.
