The Stark Museum of Art is excited to announce the return of Playdate, a free program designed specifically for children ages five and under and their caregivers. Playdate provides an opportunity for the youngest art lovers to explore creativity through art-inspired play and hands-on art-making activities. Held on the second Friday of each month through May, the sessions run from 10 to 11 a.m., offering an engaging and educational experience in a fun environment.
Each Playdate session is carefully crafted to encourage young children’s natural curiosity and creativity while fostering motor skills, sensory exploration and early socialization. From music to movement, imaginative play to storytelling, every activity is designed to inspire imagination while introducing fundamental art concepts.
“At the Stark Museum of Art, we believe that art can play a vital role in a child’s development from an early age. Playdate offers young children and their families a welcoming space to explore the world of art together,” said Kyra Hall, studio and public program coordinator at the Stark Museum of Art. “Each month’s Playdate features a new art-inspired story and activity to help children engage with art.”
