Join us for a vibrant, one-day interactive arts and learning experience designed for children ages 5–11 and their caregivers. Led by Charles County resident Roxy Tate, this engaging program celebrates African American history as a journey of creativity, courage, and discovery throughout the year. The program will be offered in two guided sessions: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM.This pop-up educational makerspace invites families to rotate through four immersive, hands-on stations inspired by the legacies of:
- Zora Neale Hurston
- Harriet Tubman
- George Washington Carver
- Frederick Douglass
“Culture for the Kids” aims to strengthen community connections, nurture an early appreciation for the arts, and empower children to see themselves as active participants in history and storytelling. Each station features an interactive environment and a photo opportunity, along with a guided art activity that explores themes of imagination, bravery, curiosity, and voice. Through storytelling, observation, creative making, and discussion, children will connect history to their own ideas and experiences in meaningful, age-appropriate ways.
Parents and caregivers will participate alongside their children, fostering intergenerational learning and conversation as small groups move through the stations, guided by facilitators and volunteers. Each child will leave with take-home art projects and educational prompts designed to extend the experience beyond the event and inspire further exploration through books, history, and creative expression.
This is a free event, but registration is required to ensure enough supplies for everyone. Families registering multiple children should register each participant separately.

This event is supported in part by the Maryland State Arts Council (msac.org).
