Free Earth Day Family Day + Printed Tote Bags
April 18, 2026 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Art & History Museums – Maitland
Families are invited to celebrate our “home sweet home” at A&H’s FREE Earth Day Family Day PLUS Printed Tote Bag Family Art Workshop where children can play with colors and patterns while using paint to “print” their own tote bags with recycled objects! This art project is inspired by A & H’s founder, Jules Andre’ Smith – a master printmaker who loved experimenting with art, and we can’t think of anything more fun for Earth Day than creating reusable art with recycled materials!
We’ll have other Earth Day inspired craft stations too, plus coloring and still life tables! Families can also explore our campus, originally built as an artist colony almost 100 years ago, with an Earth Day themed scavenger hunt. There will be other surprises too – like face painting and complimentary admission to three museums!
Our family art workshop is recommended for children ages 4 and over, and under 4 with parental help!
Space and art supplies are limited (one tote bag per child, while supplies last).
All 2025-26 free programs, including Earth Day Famly Day at A&H are supported by a grant from Duke Energy Foundation.
