Get a new perspective–see the museum through the eyes of an artist! In conjunction wit the museum's new exhibit, Lure of the West: The Katherine and Frederick Farrar Collection, visitors will learn how art and geology are related. Landscapes are based on structural geology, and children will be choreographed to become living folds, faults, and volcanoes. Through the exploration of the museum's 30-foot wall mural and the Farrar exhibit, participants will gain an understanding of the compositional elements of art. Additionally, adults and children alike will participate in mineral identification and learn about the rocks in their art! Finally, our guests will demonstrate their own artistry by making a work of art to take home as a souvenir of the day. Advance reservations are required for this event.

Please call (719) 488-0880 by Friday, October 3. Museum Hours: Monday-Saturday, 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.
