Come join us as we celebrate the artist whose work inspired our exhibits, Vernon Grant, and his love for Gnomes! Join us as we bring his children’s art to life. Practice playing music like Glen the Frog, make (pretend) pies in the house, help the gnome find his shoe, and make your own gnome house with paper dolls. Have fun with us and enjoy some living art today.
