Milwaukee Art Museum
Time: 12:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Imagine a vehicle that brings creativity and ingenuity into your community—a mobile art experience that’s like an extension of the Art Museum, where kids not only take part in fun projects, but also grow and learn through art.

That’s the idea behind Kohl’s Color Wheels, a van that will make an appearance at Bradford Beach on July 11th, 2010. The Color Wheels van houses the supplies and art activities that make it possible to create off-site art experiences at Milwaukee’s inspiring lakefront.

Your children and their friends can look forward to creating bottle cap jewelry, Jackson Pollock-esque splatter drawings, and animals created entirely from recycled materials.

Check out more details about Milwaukee Art Museum and Kohl's Color Wheels www.mam.org/artgeneration.
