Madison, WI: Art Cart provides free art activities for families July 6 – August 14.
Art Cart is a free traveling art program that visits parks and schools throughout Madison every summer. The program is a partnership between Madison School & Community Recreation (MSCR) and Madison Museum of Contemporary Art (MMOCA), and offers fun, art activities exposing children to a variety of art mediums and opportunities. Art Cart begins its Madison season on Monday, July 6.
“Art Cart is a Madison icon, bringing free, accessible art education to Madison neighborhoods for 45years enriching the lives of thousands of children,” described Janet Dyer, MSCR Executive Director. “We are proud of its history stimulating children’s imagination, creativity and self-expression. We are also proud of the team for adapting the program to safely bring art to the parks this summer.”
