ARTWORKS Galleries I and II are ideal for multi-age groups, and the Museum offers three annual special events for families: the Flimp Festival the first Saturday in May, a Summer Art Sampler, and Holiday Open House in December. The Museum offers programs on weekend afternoons to coincide with the themes of special exhibitions. See Current Calendar of Events for specific offerings.
Young children may begin formal experiences at the Museum with their parents or caregivers through one or more pre-school programs offered. The annual puppet show, “Colors of the City,” is a delightful introduction to shape and color and includes a mini-tour of the galleries.
Studio classes for children ages two and older are offered throughout the week and on weekends. Most classes are in multi-part series, which focus on a single subject or technique. The Museum offers scholarships to select classes.
