During HISD’s Spring Break week, join HCCC for hands-on making and other activities that encourage visitors, ages three and up, to explore craft and art making. Although it’s normally closed on Mondays, HCCC will be open all week for this event.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

Each day of the week, from 10 AM – 1 PM, participants can experiment with different materials, tools, and techniques, through hands-on activities, demonstrated by teaching artists and volunteers.  Families are also invited to spend time in the galleries, sketching, looking at art, and talking with experienced docents. Visitors can explore the current exhibition, Nothing Goes to Waste, which showcases artists who find exciting ways to reuse and repurpose materials, scraps, and castoffs through ingenuity. Visitors will also have the opportunity to explore the resident artists studios to gain insight into the inspirations and artistic processes of working artists.  HCCC Spring Break is free and open to the public.
