Lil Rockwell

On the first Thursday of each month, The Rockwell presents a different opportunity for families with little learners to engage with art and each other.

Dia de los Muertos

Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a Mexican holiday steeped in tradition that honors friends and family members through art, dance and festive foods. Decorate sugar skulls, make paper flowers and learn about this special Mexican holiday.
