\n<\/strong>Target Provides Families With Free Admission to More Than 80 Museums, Galleries and Art Institutions <\/em>in 30 Cities<\/em><\/p>\n

MILWAUKEE (July 6, 2010)<\/strong> \u2013 As part of its long-standing commitment to inspiring parents and caring adults to nurture a child\u2019s love of learning, Target has partnered with more than 80 cultural and art institutions in 30 cities across the country to launch the Target Arts & Wonder Free Family Event. From July 16 to 18, 2010, museums, galleries and other institutions from coast to coast will offer friends and families the opportunity to explore and learn about art together in an engaging and playful atmosphere \u2013 for free.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, July 18, 2010 from 10:00am to 4:00pm, Milwaukee Art Museum will participate in the weekend event, providing all visitors free access to the Museum to enjoy a Caribbean Festival, full of music, hands-on art, stories, and a greater appreciation of the Museum\u2019s colorful and extensive Haitian Art collection. All participating institutions across the country, courtesy of Target, will also offer a wide range of fun hands-on activities, including a mosaic painting of Target\u2019s very own Bullseye, dance classes, educational workshops and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Target, we believe that arts have the power to engage and enrich our children\u2019s academic achievement, both inside and outside of the classroom setting,\u201d said Laysha Ward, president, Community Relations, Target. \u201cTogether with our partners, Target Arts & Wonder Free Family Event will further promote the integral role of the arts in shaping our children\u2019s academic success and everyday lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
