Make and Paint Friday! – Downtown

Your child can dive into a hands-on art experience at the Downtown Art Studio during Make and Paint Friday. This monthly program invites kids and their grown-ups to spend time exploring creative expression together. The focus is on experimentation with water-based paints, giving children the freedom to play, discover, and make art in a supportive environment filled with materials ready to use. This program welcomes children ages 3 and up and works well for a range of ages and abilities. The session runs for two hours, giving plenty of time for unhurried creativity. Admission is included with your museum ticket, so there's no extra cost beyond what you'd normally pay to visit. It's a relaxed, open format—perfect for families who want to explore art-making without structured instruction.
