    The Stomp percussion exhibit at the Young at Art Children's Museum. The ambitious and extraordinary Young At Art Children's Museum is about to be a hot summer ticket for South Florida families with kids. The cavernous and bright building is a riot of bright color and art at every turn, yet clearly organized with space for quiet time too. Art is organized into themed areas for everything from surrealism (René Magritte) to street art (Keith Haring).  Young At Art will be offering day camps as well as summer camps that include ceramics, painting and other diversions for kids. Based on my own price-shopping of summer camps in the area, their summer camp weekly rate is quite affordable.  I visited Young At Art with my daughter - who's five, attends kindergarten and has taken some art classes. She was most interested in the Stomp percussion room, the Hokusai wave climbing sculpture, and the Edouard Duval Carrie interactive art exhibit.  Carrie's installation was funded by a 2011 Knight grant and the museum itself was a Knight Arts Challenge first-year winner.
