On February 2, 2023, Swain Campus Kindergarten visited the Banana Factory Arts and Education Center for their Explore Art Tour and Art Making Activity Experience.

Kindergarten students got to experience all the Banana Factory has to offer through a special program that pairs a 30-45 minute guided visit in the galleries and artist studios with a 45-minute art-making activity in one of the Banana Factory studios or classrooms. After exploring and discussing different works of art in the galleries, students create their own unique objects to take home. Creative challenges encourage material exploration, creative thinking, and problem-solving. All art-making workshops are led by professional Teaching Artists.
