Funky folk art focus of Grace's February Tot Spot

Abilene, TX (January 24, 2007)  - Full-sized self portraits in the hands-on folk art style will be the order of the day as The Grace Museum plays host to tots from around Abilene and the Big Country February 1 and 2.

The program is part of the Museum's monthly Tot Spot, where children ages 3 to 5 and their parents or guardians come to The Grace to expand their large imaginations through hands-on activities and gallery games.

In February, the theme is "Funky Folk Art" ... the children will take a tour through The Grace's Main Gallery to see Creatures Great and Small: Folk Art from the African-American Museum, Dallas, and then make their own full-sized self portrait during craft time.

Tot Spot starts at 10 a.m. February 1, and also runs at 9:30 and 11 a.m. February 2.

Reservations are required for the monthly program which is the first Thursday and Friday of each month. Cost is $3 for The Grace Museum members; $5 for non-members. Call 673-4587 or visit The Grace web site at www.thegracemuseum.org to register or get more information.

The Grace Museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday; and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. every Thursday. Admission is free Thursday evening after 5 p.m.
