​Bringing the kids to the Decorative Arts Center of Ohio? After you all take in the art of our newest exhibition, Three Voices: Conversations on Life and Conflict, come downstairs to our children’s area. The children’s area allows for children of all ages to let their creative side out with art activities tailored to them. We have recently revamped the children’s area to coincide with our current exhibition. There is a section dedicated to the artwork of Judy Brandon that lets children try their hands at doing their own emotion driven weather-based water colors. 

​They can also use oil pastels to create their own bright Leslie Shiels inspired drawings and patterns. Young artists will also have the chance to form their own nature inspired sculpture like Carol Snyder using Model Magic. If you want more artistic opportunities for your children be sure to sign them up for the many art camps and classes that we are offering this summer. Descriptions of our classes and camps can be found on our website under Program, Classes, and Events.

Megan Taylor, who was in charge of the art activity, said, “It was really fun to have several groups of kids coming through, and how they all did the projects differently, as well as all the families, which really showed me a sense of community.” This event was also the perfect opportunity for visitors to learn more about the art education program and opportunities we provide.

FNB Cares from Fairfield National Bank will be here this afternoon to plant some more flowers around the grounds!

We're grateful for both of these group's efforts in getting the grounds ready for summertime. Come see both of their efforts around the Reese Peters House and enjoy the wonderful grounds!

Meet the newest & tiniest member of the Decorative Arts Center Team, Tiny Jane!

Tiny Jane is based on Jane Jacobs, an inspirational woman who lived in the mid-20th century and dedicated herself to the historic preservation and planning of buildings and communities. Tiny Jane is more than just cute; she also gives back. By purchasing a Tiny Jane we are contributing to causes such as Rust Belt Coalition to help fund a scholarship program for emerging preservation professionals to attend the National Trust for Historic Preservation Conference. Tiny Jane will be making appearances on our social media, so watch for her as she takes in the beauty of the Decorative Arts Center of Ohio.

​To learn more about the Tiny Jane Jacobs project, follow the link down below to the official website. Tiny Jane makes the perfect gift for those who are passionate about preservation, planning, or architecture. http://preservation.designinglocal.com/tiny-jane/
