August 30 @ 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
Before AMFA’s exhibition The Long View: From Conservation to Sustainability closes, we invite you to create art inspired by the works on view! Using recycled cardboard, design an abstract collage that layers shapes, textures, and colors into one-of-a-kind composition.
At Creative Saturdays, guests of all ages and abilities are welcome. Just drop in and enjoy a free, family-friendly art-making activity in AMFA’s Windgate Art School – no registration required!
For preschool-aged children, do not miss Art Start at 10:30 a.m. in the Amerine/Calhoun Glass Box, where there will be a playful live reading of Be A Tree! by Maria Gianferrari. After story time, young artists can use natural materials to create an artwork that explores the beauty of trees.
This event is hosted in partnership with the North Little Rock Public Library System.
About the North Little Rock Public Library System

The Arkansas Regional Innovation Hub joined NLRPLS in January 2025.
These libraries serve the community as valuable resources, offering art galleries and diverse circulating collections that include tools, cooking equipment, telescopes, hotspots, and more.
