A free drop-in at AMFA’s Windgate Art School uses a paper garland project to connect the Nov. 21 family arts date with the museum’s upcoming holiday production.
All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
Creative Saturdays turns AMFA’s theater-season theme into an art-school activity on Nov. 21: visitors can make a holiday garland inspired by Gingerbread Man: The Untold Story. The date’s listing describes a craft session, not a performance.
AMFA presents Gingerbread Man: The Untold Story as an original world-premiere production that gives a familiar character a new interpretation. Its first listed performance is Nov. 27, six days after the garland activity, so the production and craft are separate outings.

The surrounding Creative Saturdays listings show how the series changes its activity by date. On Nov. 7, participants can build an interlocking, stackable sculpture and explore balance, with inspiration from Material Nature: Gifts from the John and Robyn Horn Collection. The Nov. 14 activity is a graphic collage poster inspired by Soviet Cinema: Mikhail Dlugach and 1920s Poster Design and hosted by Pulaski Heights Elementary School.
The next listed date, Nov. 28, has a separate two-dimensional gingerbread-house design inspired by the same production. It is not part of the Nov. 21 garland activity.

Because those instructions address classes, contact AMFA to confirm whether the same call-box procedure applies to this drop-in activity.
