WMODA
WMODA will be open FREE to the public from 10am to 4pm with art exhibitions and family-friendly activities including “play with clay” sessions, and scavenger hunts around the museum. The museum shop features unique works of art created by artists in our community.
GASPER ARTS
Explore the new creative facilities at Gasper Arts from 12pm to 7pm FREE of charge. The new center has 22 newly renovated spaces for artists and creative professionals to lease. There are also 3 new ceramics kilns and 12 pottery wheels that can support professional artists and students learning at scheduled classes.
THE POWER OF MUSEUMS
The theme of 2022 International Museum Day is the Power of Museums as incomparable places of discovery. Museums open our minds to new ideas and help us understand our past. Through exciting exhibitions and event programs, WMODA creates cultural experiences and provides life-long learning opportunities to build the Dania Beach arts community. The new Gasper Arts Center expands this experience as an incubator for creativity with hand-on facilities for making ceramic art.
