Little Explorers: Eco-Painting with Nopal & Natural Pigments
Explore, play, and create with us at Little Explorers.
Families with young children (ages 2–5) are invited to enjoy arts, crafts, and nature exploration.
In this special collaboration, artists from Craft Contemporary have created natural paints using plants grown at Descanso Gardens, including nopal cactus.
Little artists can explore and paint with these earth-based pigments.
Meets at the Main Lawn.
Included with admission or membership, no event registration needed.
About Craft Contemporary
Founded as a museum in 1973, Craft Contemporary reveals the potential of craft to educate, captivate, provoke, and empower. With a focus on contemporary art made from craft media and processes, Craft Contemporary presents dynamic exhibitions by established and emerging artists and designers who are often underrepresented in larger art institutions.
This program is generously funded, in part, by Perenchio Foundation.
