CAS Kids: scribble scores
Scribble Scores, part of Parents in the Avant Garde (PAG), invites families to make music together using colorful graphic scores drawn by kids — turning their own artwork into playful, collaborative sound. PAG is a creative arts program designed by artists and parents Nicole Lattuca and Matthew Mottel to inspire families to explore art and music together in fun and unexpected ways. Through hands-on activities, music, and community projects, PAG brings together art, education, and play. From Scribble Scores' graphic-score music-making, to creating nature-based art, to showcasing work on geodesic domes in public spaces, PAG offers unique experiences that spark imagination for all ages.
Our goal is to make creativity accessible, inclusive, and part of everyday life in diverse communities. Join us in rethinking what art can be — for parents, kids, and everyone in between. Free and open to all children of all ages.

CAS Kids: summer session

Each class invites young artists to explore the practice and work of renowned artists — learning not just techniques, but the ideas, contexts, and lives behind them — then bringing that understanding into their own hands-on work. Classes are free and open to all local children, with no commitment required; once registered, kids are welcome to drop in day-to-day. To get started, please complete the registration form below.
