The Kenosha Public Museum is inviting families and individuals of all skill levels to its next Artsy Afternoons session on Saturday, November 14. The hands‑on workshop runs from noon to 2 p.m. at the museum’s downtown location, 5500 First Avenue, and is free to the public.
What to Expect
For this fall‑themed session, participants will work with two projects: Beaded Pipe Cleaner Pumpkins and Flint Corn designs. The museum supplies all materials, including pipe cleaners, beads, and corn‑shaped craft elements, so attendees can focus on creativity rather than preparation. No prior art experience is needed, making the event ideal for children, parents, seniors, and anyone looking for a seasonal craft activity.
Registration Details
While admission is free, registration is appreciated to help the museum plan for supplies and instructor staffing. Registrants can sign up through the museum’s website; the registration link is provided on the event page. Because supplies are limited, the museum closes registration two days before the class. If you miss the online deadline, you may call the museum at 262‑653‑4140 to inquire about remaining spots.
Why It Matters
Artsy Afternoons is a monthly program that connects community members with the museum’s collections and exhibitions through hands‑on creation. By offering free, guided craft sessions, the museum supports family bonding, encourages artistic expression, and reinforces the cultural vitality of Kenosha. The November workshop’s focus on pumpkins and flint corn celebrates the region’s autumn traditions, giving participants a tangible way to bring the season’s colors and textures into their homes.
Looking Ahead
The next Artsy Afternoons session is scheduled for Saturday, December 19, featuring a “Potato Wrapping Paper” project that ties into the holiday season. As with the November event, all materials will be provided, and registration will close two days prior to the class. Interested residents are encouraged to keep an eye on the museum’s calendar for future workshops.
