SAN ANTONIO - Bring the entire gang down to Blue Star's first Family Saturday of 2012.
The Blue Star Contemporary Art Center will be hosting a family art event on Saturday, January 28 from 9 am until noon. Family Saturday, an education program uniquely constructed for kids and their families, features short, family-geared tours, activity guides and a special art activity led by a local or exhibiting artist. The short guided tours introduce you to the world of contemporary art through exploration of Blue Star's current exhibitions. In addition, you get a Family Activity Guide, the perfect resource for those who want to take a more in-depth look at the art or who prefer to go through the gallery at their own pace.
Family Saturday will feature an activity based on the work of Phillip King, whose large and colorful sculptures are currently on exhibit in the Main Gallery. Emily Barker, Blue Star Membership & Outreach Coordinator, stopped by the SA Living Show Wednesday to show us the featured activity: how to make pop-up cards from recycled folders.

Family Saturday guided tours and art activities will run several times throughout the morning so that families may choose the duration of time they wish to spend at the gallery.
