Art Cart 50th Birthday
Saturday, June 27 • 2 PM– 5 PM • Free Admission

Celebrate 50 years of the Art Cart! Join us for two free family events. Sunday, July 27, 2-5PM as MSCR and MMoCA unveil the Vilas Park Shoe. Located at 1602 Vilas Park Dr., the Vilas Park Shoe is a play structure with a slide modeled after the English nursery rhyme, “There Was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe.” Every summer, the Art Cart season culminates with a collaborative activity of designing and decorating the Vilas Park Shoe. Stop by for the grand unveiling of the Vilas Park Shoe and participate in more art projects and family fun.

Art Cart is a free, travelling art program that provides creative, outdoor art-making experiences to children ages 3+ and their families. Activities include both group and individual projects, with a variety of materials.

Art Cart is a joint project of the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art (MMoCA) and Madison School & Community Recreation (MSCR). Art Cart EXTRA! is organized by MMoCA.
