Day Off, Art On

Join the McLean County Museum of History and artists Hannah Johnson and Aianna Zachary for a day of learning about, interpreting, and creating art!

This free program is designed to give your middle school student a fun, engaging day off, even when you don't get the day off with them.

We are offering two sessions of this program: Monday, January 5 and Friday, February 13 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day.

Snacks and water will be provided, but participants should supply their own lunch. The entirety of the program will take place at the McLean County Museum of History, located at 200 N. Main St. in Bloomington, Illinois.

This program is available for students between the 5th and 8th grades. There are 15 spots available on each day.

Please only register your student for ONE of the two dates.
Note: the January program is already full. If you're interested in joining the waitlist, please contact the Museum's Education Department at 309-827-0428.

Registration closes on February 2, 2026. Visit mchistory.org/events for more information and to register your child.
