Make and Paint Friday! – Downtown

Your child can dive into creative exploration at this monthly art-making session held in the Downtown Art Studio. Each gathering features open studio time where kids experiment with water-based paints, exploring color, texture, and artistic expression with plenty of materials on hand. A caregiver can participate alongside their child, making it a shared creative experience. The relaxed format gives children room to play and discover at their own pace without instruction or pressure. This program works wonderfully for children ages 3 and up and welcomes mixed-age groups. Sessions run for two hours, giving plenty of time to settle in and create. Best of all, admission is free with your general museum ticket—no additional registration or fees required. The Downtown Art Studio provides a dedicated space designed for hands-on learning, so you can focus on the fun rather than cleanup concerns.
