ArtWise celebrat- ed its 25th anniversary at the Family Day event. Family Day at the North Dakota Museum of Art is a treasured event for the Grand Forks community. It celebrates diversity, art and community. The crafts at the event are not only fun for children, but allow parents to interact with their child in a low cost craft that they can easily do again and again at home. Family Day shows that art does not have to be expensive or elaborate. It is the simple act of creating art with someone you care about, either in the community or in your own family, that makes art and Family Day so special.
