Mingei International Museum, located in the Balboa Park area of San Diego, conducts a fun Family Sunday the third Sunday of each month. Family Sunday offers discount admission, of only $5 for per family, or $3 for individuals. Attendees can explore the museum’s colorful exhibitions of folk art, craft and design, win a prize for completing a treasure hunt as well as participate in other activities such as storytelling and hands-on crafts.

The upcoming Family Sunday, on September 18th, 2011 will include an art project featuring Book Making with Liza Alvarez. I’ve heard super great things about Liza’s book making projects. You can see some of her work by visiting her website HERE.

In addition to the craft project and other fun activities, a screening of the film The Lords of the Sun, one of the films from The Soul of Mexico, a series on the history of Mexico, produced by filmmaker, author and historian Hector Tajonar, will be shown at 2pm. Below is a list of the film upcoming screening events:

Film Schedule:
September 18 — The Lords of the Sun
October 16 — From Conquest to Revolution
November 20 — Living Heritage
