Creation Station
Join us for a free, hands-on art experience during Family Second Sunday from 10 am to 2 pm! Kids and their grown-ups can unleash their creativity in a space filled with colorful, quirky materials. There are no rules—just pure imaginative play! Make anything your heart (and hands) can dream up and let your creativity run wild. All ages.
Studio Explorers
Get hands-on in the Studio with a professional artist! Each month, children and their families create a unique work of art inspired by pieces in our collection—experimenting with new materials and techniques in a creative, welcoming environment. All ages. On-site registration is required.
This month, we will be creating a mixed media collage inspired by the artwork P-243 by Robert Larry Straight in the contemporary gallery.

Looking Back, Dreaming Forward with The Soft Girls (A Two-Part Family Program)
Join The Soft Girls for a two-part family journey on select Sundays from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm to reflect on the past year and envision the future through the lenses of identity, community, and creativity. Inspired by Imprinted: Illustrating Race, this program explores how race and representation shape our stories — and how we can reimagine them with self-love, empowerment, and belonging.
Part 1: Looking Back (January 11) Reflect on personal and family milestones through guided journaling and collage-making. Celebrate resilience, honor growth, and recognize the community connections that ground and uplift us.
Part 2: Dreaming Forward (February 8) Build on your reflections to imagine a future rooted in love and collective care. Families will create vision boards to express hopes for themselves, their loved ones, and their communities.
What to Bring: Copies of photos or meaningful items to include in your collage or vision board. All other materials will be provided.
Kids’ Corner
Kids’ Corner is the Museum’s interactive space for families. Kids’ Corner is open during regular Museum hours. (Please note: During 2nd Sunday, Kids’ Corner access will be limited to Giggles and Tales participants from 10:30 am – 1:30 pm.)
