Family Saturdays

Access

About

Family Saturdays are all about enjoying art, learning new skills, and connecting with one another in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, or caregiver, this event is perfect for kids of all ages — and everyone is encouraged to participate, no matter their experience with art.

These hands-on art projects are designed to be enjoyable for both younger and older kids, and parents are invited to join in the creative process, too. The goal is to make art accessible and fun for everyone while fostering a sense of community and creativity. The gallery provides all the materials you’ll need, all we ask of you is to do is show up in art appropriate clothing, get creative, and enjoy the experience.
