On Saturday, Jan. 14, bring your little monster to the downtown YMCA for a “Cookies and Canvas”-themed “Kids Night Out” event. Under the guidance of the YMCA’s art staff, kids will paint and draw a monster from their own imagination. The fun will continue at a later date (to be determined) when the children’s artworks will be displayed during a special art show at The Pharmacy Gallery and Art Space. Additionally, several of the children’s pieces will be chosen for re-creation by Pharmacy members into professional works of art. The professional works will be displayed alongside the kids’ art, and parents of the selected children will have the first opportunity to purchase the professional artwork. This event is open to children ages 6-12. Admission is $15 for YMCA members and $25 for the general public. Preregistration is required and can be completed online at http://springfieldymca.org/Healthy-Living/ Family-Time/Default.aspx.
