Summer Family Fun Day: A House for Hermit Crab by Eric Carle

Join us for our next Summer Family Fun Day on July 18 from 10:00am to 2:00pm!

From 10:00am-12:00pm, we will be hosting a children’s book reading of “A House for Hermit Crab,” followed by a watercolor collage workshop. Afterward, hang out for refreshments and drop-in tours of our current exhibitions.

“A House for Hermit Crab” was written and illustrated by Eric Carle. The book follows the journey of a hermit crab as he moves from shell to shell and the friends he makes along the way. During this reading and watercolor activity, kids and parents will have a chance to connect with one of our current exhibitions on display: Tallahassee Watercolor Society's “2026 Tri-State Annual Juried Water Media Exhibition.” This show features work by local artists from Florida, Georgia, and Alabama.

This event is for visitors 16 and under and their families. Pre-register through the Linkin Bio. All materials will be provided, and free parking will be available in the Call St Garage.

See you there!
