Adventures in Art

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist when we grow up.” —Pablo Picasso

Our art studio is designed to provide inspiration for children to explore their inner creativity with programs that change twice a month. Daily Discoveries, led by Museum staff, provide children with opportunities to learn about math, science and social studies. The self-guided Art Adventures program encourages children to be creative using unique tools and art media.
