Museum Makers is a weekly studio-based program that provides art-making, discussion, and sensory experiences for young and school-aged children. Young artists will have exposure to a wide variety of art-making tools and materials but will also practice and stimulate problem-solving and integrate learning from other areas of education, such as math and reading, in a culturally significant institution.
Mini-Makers, Ages 1–5
| When | Thursdays, 10:30–11:30 a.m. or 12:30–1:30 p.m. |
| Where | Art Studio |
Visit the museum with your children to explore engaging sensory, imaginary play, art-making, art viewing, and movement activities. We’ll keep your young artist engaged by moving between stations that will invite each child and guardian to create in a way that is interesting and developmentally appropriate.
A guardian is required to attend for the child or children they register.

Painting, Ages 6–7
