Catch the Cool 2010

6 Museums, 1 Evening, $0! 

On June 8, 2010, Cool Culture families, staff and cultural partners Caught the Cool at the 32nd Annual Museum Mile Festival, enjoying culture, street art and entertainment, plus free admission at the museums of the Mile. 

But this year there was a fun twist: Cool Culture was there to Catch the Cool, hosting 6 Cool Culture Hot Spots in front of partner museums where families (representing over 90 Early Education Program Partners!) and the general public stopped by for: 

  • art-making activities
    • Families stopped by The Jewish Museum Hot Spot to make foam stamps inspired by a tusk object located inside the museum
  • the Prize Giveaway
  • Cool Culture Hunt Cards!
    • At El Museo del Barrio's Hot Spot, families picked up a Culture Hunt Card featuring La Jirafa Rayada and then made their way inside to find the long-necked furry friend!

More Chances to Catch the Cool!
