The evening will begin at 5:30 and you will be creating your own linoleum block holiday cards and conclude with dazzling creations and light refreshments.

This class is open to the public but a reservation is required, so we know we have enough art supplies and goodies. To make a reservation for you, or your group of friends, please call 785.532.7718 or email beachart@ksu.edu. The cost of this workshop is $15 per person ($10 for Friends of the Beach Museum of Art).

The galleries are open late, until 8 p.m. on Thursdays, so make it a date and walk through the newest exhibition on display Art for Every Home: Associated American Artists. The exhibition addresses not only AAA’s storied involvement in the popularization of American prints in the 1930s, but also its ongoing promotion of American art over six decades.

The construction in the immediate area of the museum has been completed so you are free to use our parking lot when visiting the museum.
