South Street Print Fest
Steamroller Printmaking Day At KIA
The KIA is hosting its first-ever Steamroller Printmaking day!
Using a large asphalt roller as a printing press, vibrant large-scale prints will be produced in September from relief carvings. Participants will have the opportunity to make prints that are 3' wide and up to 6' long from plywood blocks carved in advance.
Timeslots will be reserved for September 28 on a first-come, first-served basis. To participate, you must complete this form, carve your block independently, and bring it to and from the site. Your block must be 3' wide and between 2' to 6' long. More information regarding the event and time reservation confirmations will be shared with registered community printmakers as the event gets closer. Visit the KIA website for additional details.

Take a Wonder Walk through the galleries! Children and their caregivers will be led through the galleries by a member of the museum education team. The walk will include close looking at a few artworks as well as gallery games and activities. This is a great way to introduce your little one to art and the museum. Wonder Walks is for children 2-4 years old (but all are welcome) and is free with the cost of admission. Caregivers must stay with their children at all times.
All book discussions are free and open to the public. Participants do not need to have read the book but it will help facilitate overall discussion.
The Meader Fine Arts Library is a free resource open to the public. The library is open Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 11am-3pm. Members can borrow books and other materials, but all are welcome to use the library.
Art Detectives is for children 4-8 years old (but all ages are welcome). Come join us as we read a story, look at art, and make a project to take home! Caregivers must stay with their children at all times.
