Art for All at Masterworks

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16: Masterworks is holding its Arts for All community workshops this month.

Arts for All is a biannual community event held during spring and Christmas holidays offering free art workshops to all ages.

Robyn DeSilva, Education Coordinator said: “The museum is full of unique treasures worth exploring further, and it is exciting to share knowledge of Bermuda’s history and culture through art with the community. Getting kids to investigate and discuss works of art can be a unique educational experience, they always have such original interpretations and are often fascinated that they can relate to the subjects and locations depicted.”
