MILWAUKEE, Aug. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The
Milwaukee Art Museum proudly congratulated 8-year-old
Sophia Monson of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, the one
millionth child reached by Kohl's Cares programming at the
Museum. While building a sculpture in the Kohl's Art Generation
Studio, Sophia, her father and baby sister were surprised with
a prize package made up of Milwaukee Art Museum merchandise, a gift
bag of art supplies, a $250 Museum
gift card and a cake to share with other families at the
Museum.
"We are so proud that we could celebrate the one million
milestone with Sophia, her dad and sister," said Emily Sullivan, Director of Youth and Family
Programs, Milwaukee Art Museum. "Since Kohl's began their
support in 2008, Kohl's Cares has helped us make the Milwaukee Art
Museum a truly family-friendly world-class art museum, opening up
new possibilities for families and children from the entire
region."
Since 2008, Kohl's Cares has supported a variety of
family-friendly programs including the Kohl's Art Generation
Studio, the Kohl's Art Generation Lab: Haitian Art, Kohl's
Color Wheels out in the community, Kohl's Family Sundays, Kohl's
Storytime in the Galleries, and the Kohl's Art Generation Touch
Tour app. In 2017, Kohl's Cares also took on sponsorship of the
Museum's policy of free admission for kids 12 and under, keeping
the program intact.
Sophia said her favorite parts of the Museum are "looking at the
art and making art."
Kids 12 years old and under are free every day the Museum is
open thanks to Kohl's Cares.
