From ceramics and fiber to paint and metalwork, families are invited to experiment and create with materials found in works throughout the Museum this summer! Embark on artistic adventures with games, toys, and storybooks in the galleries. Drop by the sketch cart to sharpen observation skills and try your hand at the different techniques artists use to create drawings. In the studio, try out a different material each week and test your creativity inspired by what you discovered in the galleries. Recommended for ages 3–12.

Drop in! This program is free with Museum admission. Members and ages 12 & younger always get in free. On Thursdays, Museum admission is free, courtesy of Shell. 

► Parking update: A new underground parking garage, located at 5101 Montrose, is now open. Learn more about changes to visitor parking and plan ahead for your visit.
