Join students from Cathedral City High School’s Creativity, Activity, & Service (CAS) program at Sunnylands for a free Family Day event focused on art throughout the ages.

• Meiji Era: Learn to make origami lotus flowers and other figures.
• America in the 50s: Decorate vinyl records using 1950s theme prints.
• Modern Era: Learn how to incorporate sustainable practices into art and create a pinwheel out of sustainable materials.

All Family Day activities are free of charge. Admission and parking are free. Reservations not required. Program changes may require the cancellation or rescheduling of some events.
