If you are local to the tri-state area, have a child who is a budding artist, and you are looking for a fun thing to do this weekend…. I have the perfect idea for you! Head into NYC to the GAP store located at 17th and 5th Ave (122 Fifth Ave, to be precise) from 10am-1pm on Saturday (tomorrow, 8/25) to participate in their Shine On Saturdays event!

Curious? Check this out….

Your child will have the opportunity to create a special art project, ranging from creating geometric masterpieces on canvas using paint and tape…. to colorful, custom journals to get kids ready for back-to-school. These projects were all designed by Merrilee Liddiard of Mer Mag, and inspired by the GapKids and babyGap fall collection… including the best new 1969 denim - Jewel Box Skinnies for girls (the new skinny jean updated in bright stretchy denim) and Action Stretch Denim for boys (designed for play all day- it’s denim that’s made to move).

Sounds pretty cool, doesn’t it?
