The Walter Anderson Museum presents Walter Anderson's Creatures from the Deep Children's Art Show. Children in grades 4-8 are invited to submit their artistic interpretations of creatures of the sea, in the spirit of Walter’s many Gulf Coast inspired paintings, prints, and sculptures. Aquatic-themed costumes are strongly encouraged on the day of the event. For questions, contact Tony DiFatta at educate@walterandersonmuseum.org. Sponsored by Dickie Roberts and Dr. Edward Aldridge.
