The second annual Day of Creativity took place Sunday, April 24, 2016, at a number of Kansas University locations including Jayhawk Boulevard, the Natural History Museum and the Commons at Spooner Hall. The all-ages event was intended to get people to be creative, and open their minds to what that means, said Amanda Martin-Hamon, associate director of community engagement for the Spencer Museum of Art.
