Make and Paint Friday! – Downtown

Kids ages 3 and up are invited to spend an afternoon creating and experimenting with art at the Downtown Art Studio. This monthly program—held on the last Friday of each month—offers children and their caregivers a relaxed, open studio experience. Your child will have access to water-based paints, materials, and plenty of time and space to explore their creativity at their own pace. It's a great way to let young artists try new things without pressure or instruction. Admission is free with your museum ticket, making it an easy add-on to a visit. The two-hour session gives families flexibility to drop in and participate for as long as works for them. Whether your child is a budding artist or simply enjoys hands-on exploration, this is a welcoming environment designed with younger kids in mind.
