Victorian England: Through the Looking Glass
Join us for an exploration of Victorian England—a golden age of dazzling personalities, painting styles, and techniques! Students (ages 5-14) will discover how Victorian artists shaped not only their world but our own. Each 75-minute lesson is interactive and includes a related art activity. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn and create. As Alice in Lewis Carroll’s classic says: “What is the good of a book (or a world) without pictures?”
Parent attendance is optional. Review our FAQs, which cover arrival and even co-op questions.
