Mask-Making For Kids Celebrates Mexican Culture

Cheney Cowles Museum and Spokane Art School aren’t just collaborating on ArtFest this weekend.

Although it’s on a much smaller scale, the groups will join forces for two mask-making workshops for children on Saturday, June 15.

The mask-making workshops coincide with the exhibit “Las Caras de Mexico: Pasado y Presente” (“The Faces of Mexico: Past and Present”).

Each workshop is two hours in duration. The one for children in grades 1-3 is from 10 a.m. to noon, and the workshop for kids in grades 4-6 is from 1 to 3 p.m.

To register, call Judy Grollmus at the museum, 456-3932, ext. 128.
