Celebrate 100 Years of Route 66: Inside AMoA’s Free Family Day Event
As summer winds down in Amarillo, we’re squeezing every last drop of fun out of the season, refusing to let it slip away without a fight. The best thing is to fill up as many hours on our calendar as we can.
Squeezing Out the Last Days of Summer in Amarillo
It's even a bigger bonus if we can find free events. In a time of rising costs, the word 'free' is always a welcome sound, and the Amarillo Museum of Art is delivering just that with an upcoming community celebration.
Come celebrate community, art, and the 100th year of Rt. 66 with both indoor and outdoor activities such as live music by Yvonee Perea, yard games, face painting, and hands-on art making. Inspired by artworks from AMoA’s summer exhibitions, "Ed Ruscha + Ron Cooper: Stations Words | Bars Cars" and "Main Street: The Lost Dream of Route 66", art activities will include: create a miniature box-derby car, customized Pop Art bookmarks, and experimental printmaking.
Celebrating Community and 100 Years of Route 66
Aside from the live entertainment and hands-on art stations, you won't go hungry; FAVs Food Truck will be on-site with delicious eats available for purchase. This is the perfect Family Day, and that is exactly why that is what they are calling it that.
Event Date, Time, and Location Details
The fun is all happening Saturday, August 8, from 11 am to 1 pm out at the Amarillo Museum of Art at 2200 S Van Buren on the Amarillo College Campus. All you need to do is bring the family and maybe a way to pay for lunch if you get hungry.
Everything else is fully provided and waiting for your family to dive into a morning of creativity and fun. Pack up the kids and head over to AMoA for an unforgettable way to celebrate art and local history!
