Carving, unique prints highlight The Grace Museum's January Tot Spot

Abilene, TX (December 27, 2007) - Children age 3 to 5 will get to learn about the Great Depression and a special set of prints as The Grace Museum plays host to tots from around Abilene and "The Friendly Frontier" January 3 and 4.

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 January, the theme is "Perfect Prints" ... the children will get to see The Grace's collection of Depression-era prints in the Art for the People exhibit , and then "carve" designs onto printing plates to make unique and fun prints of their own during craft time.

Tot Spot starts at 10 a.m. January 3, and also runs at 9:30 and 11 a.m. January 4.

Reservations are required for the monthly program, which is FREE for Museum members; non-members pay only $5. 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.
