16th Annual Alexandria Arts Safari
Saturday, October 8, 2011
12 - 4pm, FREE Event

The Torpedo Factory will host the sixteenth annual Alexandria Arts Safari, a FREE day of hands-on arts and crafts activities for kids and their families. Kids will get creative with fun new art activities and old favorites!

• Arts Safari Painting
• The Clay Experience
• Giant Paper-Mache Animal
• Origami Art
• Block Printing
• Fabric Collage
And much more!

The Art League will present the popular Gallery Scavenger Hunt and fiber activities.

The Alexandria Archaeology Museum, located on the third floor of the Torpedo Factory, will once again present The Potter's Art, where children can draw or paint patterns on paper inspired by designs on salt-glazed stoneware pottery shards excavated from local archaeological sites.

Kids and adults can enter our free prize drawing for a chance to win tickets for a cruise with the Potomac Riverboat Company or a gift certificate for a creative craft or gift from Papersource.

Children should arrive with big imaginations and wearing clothing that can get a little dirty. Most activities are appropriate for children kindergarten age and above with parent supervision.
