BAM is giving out 2,000 free craft kits for kids and families in place of our usual Kids Fair festivities this year. Visit the Museum between 11am and 4pm on July 23, 24, and 25 (while supplies last) to pick up your kits from the front of the Museum! Staff will be present to help facilitate safe and socially distanced pick up.
Each of the kits includes materials and instructions for three craft projects inspired by the Pacific Northwest, fun activities from our amazing community partners, and additional learning resources for kids and grownups alike!
This year, we have also added a community art project, Weaving Together Tapestry, at Kids Fair To-Go! Kids, families, and grownups can collaborate by weaving colors together into a loom that will be on display outside BAM throughout Kids Fair weekend.
