About this event

Spend the day creating together at AMP’s Family Day—designed for all ages, from toddlers to teens. With a mix of hands-on art activities, story time, a kid-friendly tour, and a special drop-in studio just for teens, there’s something for everyone in the family.

Tell a Story in 3D!

Three reasons why AMP’s mural is awesome: 1) the artwork was created collaboratively, 2) it tells a story, and 3) it’s told in three dimensions! Now you and your gang can make awesome art together that tells a story in 3D – no special glasses necessary! Participants will build colorful 3D creations together and then bring their artwork to life through stories. Let your imagination run wild by mashing up your original art with others to make whole worlds, characters, and fantastic plot twists!

This original, hands-on program blends building, imaginative play, and storytelling. Developed by multimedia artist and educator Gerald Moore, The Game is presented through Arts for Learning Connecticut—an organization that brings high-quality arts experiences to communities across the state.
