Make and Paint Friday! – Downtown

Your child will have a dedicated time and space to get creative at the Downtown Art Studio during this monthly open art session. Kids and their caregivers explore painting together using water-based paints, with all materials provided. It's a relaxed, hands-on experience where children can experiment and play freely without a structured lesson format. The program works well for children ages 3 and up, so siblings of varying ages can participate together. This event happens on the last Friday of each month and is included free with your museum admission—no separate ticket required. Plan for about two hours, giving your child plenty of time to create without rushing. It's a great low-pressure way to enjoy art-making as a family at the museum.
