9AM - 3PMSTARTS: December 29 - January 2, 2026
Warm up your imagination this winter at the New Bedford Art Museum’s Winter Wonders at the Art Museum program.
This full-day experience invites young artists to spend the week exploring the magic of the season through artmaking. Students will experiment with a range of materials and create artwork they’ll be proud to bring home and share.
Each day begins with inspiring prompts and guided lessons led by the Museum’s professional teaching artists, followed by open studio exploration, creative games, and group activities. Participants will build confidence, make new friends, and develop artistic skills in a warm, welcoming environment designed to nurture imagination and creative growth.
Winter Break Program Daily Themes:
Monday: Winter Wonders
Imagine a magical winter world. What would it look like, sound like, or feel like? Turn your ideas into art.
Tuesday: Prints & Patterns
How can repetition and rhythm transform an artwork? Experiment with printmaking, texture, and design.
Wednesday: Animals in the Cold
Which animals thrive in snow and ice? Create your own chilly creature or reimagine a winter habitat.
Thursday: Light in the Darkness
What brings light into your world? Create a glowing or reflective artwork inspired by hope, warmth, and things that make you feel bright inside.
Friday: New Beginnings
Look ahead to 2026 with imagination and positivity. Use collage, drawing, and mixed media to build a “vision board” filled with images and words that capture what you want to grow, learn, and create in the new year.
