Recognizing the powerful influence parents have on their children's success, and as part of Gardens' Linking Literacy Program, Gardens Families recently attended the Young Audiences of Houston's "Artsploration", a celebration of visual and performing arts, at Discovery Green.
  The event provided parents and their children with an opportunity to share the power of the arts through various hands-on art activities including puppet making, printmaking, pointillism and visual arts- including music, dance and theatrical performances.  Families also enjoyed eating lunch on the hill and exploring Discovery Green, a 12-acre public park located in downtown Houston across from the George R. Brown Convention Center. Event photos follow.
