FAMILY FUN PROGRAMMING

Family Fun provides WEEKLY Kid Craft kits for FREE. Kits are placed on our front porch every Tuesday by 9:30 am. The week’s craft is previewed on Tuesdays on our Facebook page and then fun facts about the subject of the crafts are posted on Thursdays.

Our Family Fun volunteers are often present at events in the community to help spread the love of arts with our youth.

ARTY & artina - our community mice

Arty, the mascot for Alamance Arts, was created by a former Arts Council staff member as a tie-in to Family Fun Day.  Burlington resident Phoebe Harman created a short story about how Arty came to live at the Arts Council.  In addition, Phoebe came up with an idea to have tiny replicas of Arty hidden around downtown Graham as a scavenger hunt for children.  She and her husband Pat gave funds to the Arts Council to complete these two projects.  Copies of the book written by Phoebe and illustrated by Carlene Morton are free and can be found at Alamance Arts. In 2023, Artina was added to the mascot community and can occasionally be seen at community events

Eleven bronze mice, created by Ed Walker with Carolina Bronze Sculpture, have been placed at the following locations in downtown Graham: Alamance Arts, Graham Municipal Building, Bank of America building, Alamance County Court House, Graham Cinema, Sesquicentennial Gardens, Graham Historical Museum, Graham Fire Department, Graham Police Department, Graham Public Library and Children’s Museum.  A map which offers clues to children about where to look for Arty can be found at Alamance Arts located at 213 S. Main Street in Graham.
