Family Art Nights: AME 043 - a podcast by Patty Palmer: Art Teacher and expert in teaching art to kids.

Hosting a family art night can be the best way to build support for your art program, boost parent involvement and advocate for your program within your community. In this episode, I share my experiences with my own family art night both as a parent and as the organizer.

I walk you through what worked for me, how I set up the event, what projects were successful ( and which ones weren’t!) and ways to incorporate fundraising.IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:
