Fairfield, CT -- Spend the school “day off” with the Fairfield Museum, which is holding two free programs—a film screening for all ages and a family activity—on Monday, January 16.
At 2:00pm the Museum will be screening a movie that relates to its “Rising Tides, Fairfield’s Coast: Past to Future” exhibition. The film, Ocean Fronteirs II: A New England Story for Sustaining the Sea, is an inspiring story of citizens working together for healthier economies and healthier seas across New England. The movie will appeal to anyone who cares about sustainability and the future of the planet.
The “Family Focus” activity, sponsored by People’s United Bank, is called “Heroes Day” and runs from 11:00am to 2:00pm. During those hours, visitors can join Museum Education staff for a scavenger hunt in the “Creating Community” exhibition gallery to explore and discover people who have made a difference in Fairfield. In addition, children can create a painted portrait of their own “hero” in the Museum’s education classroom. Children are encouraged to bring a photo or image of their hero to use for the art activity.
