OAPA Takes Local Children to the Art Museum

OAPA takes local youth on a trip the Allentown Art Museum. Thanks to funding from ANDA (Allentown Neighborhood Development Alliance, Neighborhood Partnership Program youth projects, funded by KNBT & PPL) 13 children ages 8 to 11 had a wonderful day of Arts in the City. The weather held up for the children's walk from OAPA's office to the Allentown Art Museum. Luckily they did not need to use umbrellas! They spent the morning at the museum exploring the exhibit Fashion in Film. The children were amazed with the costumes and spent some time among the clothing sketching their own rendition of a fabulous costume. They all got to use fabrics and trims to make their mini costumes for their paper doll in the museum studio. After the museum the children walked back to OAPA for a delicious lunch of fresh fruit and wraps from Plaza Deli. The children also had some live entertainment and participated in hooping with Tina from Spirit Hoops and drumming with Snow Star Raven Hawk.



Another trip to the museum is scheduled for Wednesday, August 5th. This trip will be for local teens. Check out the blog next week for pictures and more fun..
