Summer Saturdays: Riverside Art

Bring your budding artists to the Grand Rapids Public Museum for a Saturday dedicated to creativity inspired by the Grand River and its surroundings. Local artist groups, including the Urban Sketchers and Hot Glue Creux, will team up with Museum staff to lead hands-on demonstrations and workshops. Kids can try their hand at fish prints, urban sketching, and other art activities—there's plenty to explore whether your family prefers quieter creative pursuits or more dynamic making experiences. This event is part of the Museum's Summer Saturdays series, which runs most Saturdays throughout the summer and offers a fun way to spend time indoors while enjoying local art and culture. It's a great opportunity for families to beat the heat, get inspired by working artists, and leave with something they've created themselves.
