The Missouri Department of Conservation invites participants to unleash their creative spirits by painting custom lures for either function or fashion.

This unique workshop allows guests to finish their creations with treble hooks for fishing or transform them into fun statement earrings. The event will be held during the Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art’s March After Hours on Tuesday, March 24.

The workshop takes place in the Education Center on the east side of the museum. To access the site, visitors should use the main driveway by the sculpture and follow the directional signs from the public south parking lot. Painting will be open between 4:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. to ensure projects have sufficient time to dry. While the painting session concludes early, the main museum remains open until 7:00 p.m., at which time guests can pick up their finished work.

MDC provides all necessary supplies, including blank lures, acrylic painting materials, and finishing hardware. Participants only need to bring their creativity to the table. Although the event utilizes water-based paints, a paint shirt is recommended for younger artists to protect their clothing during the process.

MDC notes that registrants for this event must be a minimum age of 4 years old by 3/24/2026.
