The Phoenix Metropolitan area has been about creating different ways to lure its citizens into not traveling during the summer heat wave. The steady increase in the cost of gas has added new incentives. Here is a cool thing to do if you are in town.

Family Fun Day celebrates rich arts and cultural environments in local communities and encourages increasing community engagements for valley families year round.  Free to the pubic, this year’s Family Fun Day provides hands-on activities, such as making dream-catcher and other dream-inspired arts and craft; it also entertains families and visitors with dance, music and theatrical performances suitable for all ages.  CONDER Dance, AZ Opera in a Box and other local groups and volunteers will showcase their best performances throughout the day, spreading all the fun and joy across gallery spaces.

Channel Eight, Arizona PBS (KAET), brings Sister Bear of the Berenstain Bears for photos with children and offers children a fun activity to do.  Rocky and the Puckpatrol from the Phoenix Roadrunners will also be here! China Mist offers free refreshments.

The Annual Family Exhibition and Fun Day are made possible in part through an investment by the ASU Art Museum Advisory Board, IKEA, Changing Hands Bookstore, China Mist and the Friends of the ASU Art Museum.
