Family Sundays

Drop in every Sunday afternoon anytime between 1:00 and 4:00 pm for hands-on art activities and a lively 30-minute family tour through the galleries. Each month's activities focus on a different, family-friendly theme. Family Tour leaves at 2:30 pm.

Learn more about family sundays.

Family Sundays are sponsored by The Wachovia Wells Fargo Foundation. Additional support is provided by Macy's.

Classes and Workshops

Each of these child-centered workshops combines a playful visit to the galleries with an art activity. Adults participate and create along with children — no experience necessary. Pre-registration is required.
