Children’s FREE Art Workshops

The Boston Parks and Recreation Department’s annual ParkARTS program’s series of children’s arts workshops is back. This program gives kids the opportunity to express their creativity while working on fun projects with local artists. From East Boston to West Roxbury, children ages 3 to 10 years old can enjoy painting, mask and jewelry making, treasure creations, and more at the Artists in Residence Workshops held from 9:00 a.m. to 12 noon on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays in parks across the city. The program begins July 5 and ends August 12.

Participation is free and all materials are provided, but young children must be accompanied by an adult.  Groups of six or more must make prior arrangements by calling the Boston Parks Department. Now in its 20^th year, ParkARTS brings a wide range of cultural offerings to city parks.
