Portrait Gallery Kids

Children and families are invited to learn, play and create at the Portrait Gallery! Join educators every Monday (except Federal Holidays) as we explore a variety of topics, such as colors, emotions, STEM and history. Through close looking at art, hands-on activities, music and movement, Portrait Gallery Kids offers a fun way to engage with art and each other. This drop-in program is free and for kids of all ages.

Registration is encouraged but not required.

* Please note that this program does not take place on Federal Holidays!*

The Portrait Gallery strives to provide programs that are accessible to all visitors. If you have questions about the accessibility of this program, or if you would like to request real-time captioning (CART), sign language interpretation, or any other accommodations, please contact Vanessa Jones at [email protected]. Two weeks advance notice is appreciated for requesting accommodations.

For general inquires please contact Beth Evans ([email protected]) or Irina Rubenstein ([email protected]).
