Looking for Something to Do This Weekend?

Once again, Polk Museum of Art has got a fun weekend planned, and we're hoping that you will all come join us!

This afternoon, we're having our Family Halloween Party starting at 4pm. It's only $5 per child, and there are going to be some great, art-related, Halloween-themed activities going, all for $5 per child. Games, prizes, candy, cookies... Mmm, cookies... Someone was baking those in our kitchen yesterday, which is right below my office, so I was smelling fresh baked cookies all afternoon!

A few of our staff are already dressed up and in the spirit, and a few more will be getting dressed up later. I'm a woodland fairy, but I think Best Costume will probably go to Letty, our Curator of Education. She's given us a preview of the shoes, and let's just say that there will be a ballerina with VERY large feet dancing around.

Tomorrow, we're working off a Day of the Dead theme. During the day, we're focusing on the kids again with a series of workshops and activities. Most of them are free, but the afternoon workshop (Day of the Dead Altars) will have a $2 materials fee.

But we haven't forgotten about the adults! Tomorrow night is Death by Chocolate. Charlene, our Special Events Manager, has been working hard to make this a fun event with chocolate stations, chocotinis, and great music and dancing. The party starts at 7pm, and tickets are $30 per person. You can purchase tickets at the door.

So come on by the Museum! It's going to be a great weekend. Check out our website for more details or call 863-688-5423.
