April School Vacation Week: Cardboard Harbor

Get ready to become a master architect and help construct the New Bedford harbor using only cardboard! From it's distinct waterfront buildings to the fascinating boats, to the sea creatures in the harbor, let your imagination and cardboard creations transform our Harbor View Gallery into a vibrant mini-version of the city we all know and love.

No matter your skill level, join us throughout the week in this interactive fun-for-all-ages activity. All tools and supplies will be provided. Then, on Saturday, April 20, join us to view the final version of the cardboard harbor that you helped create.
