Location: The Manes Art Education Center

Converse, collaborate, and create at Family Saturdays at the Museum! Begin your visit by exploring the galleries, where you and your child can get inspired by the art and objects on display. Then head to the Manes Center, where a variety of materials and tools await for you to experiment and make your own original artwork. Family Saturdays offers a special opportunity for children and their adult partners to connect, share ideas, and engage in the creative process together. Each week features a brand-new, hands-on project designed to spark imagination and encourage self-expression. While at the Center, be sure to visit our reading room, where you can discover books and toys that complement the day’s activities and provide even more ways to explore and learn together.

Suitable for children aged 2-14 and their adult companions. Everyone may participate in art making and each adult attending must purchase a spot. This is not a drop-off event. Children under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
