The kids program is intended for ages 5–11. Classes are broken down into age appropriate groups that meet in-person once a week for ten weeks during the fall, winter, and spring. With morning or afternoon options, students explore the Museum’s collection, then respond to what they have seen through drawing, painting, sculpture, collage, printmaking projects, and more.
