Let’s make some art! (doo do doo-doo do doo…)
Add a little art to your little sharks’ routine with creative fun inspired by our temporary exhibition, In American Waters: The Sea in American Painting. Experience an afternoon of kid-friendly fun as we craft, explore, and play our way through the museum.
From a kick-off performance by a guest performer to kid-friendly artmaking in the studios, we’ve got plenty of creative activities for your growing mariner to enjoy. And, as an added thank-you to our guests, we’ll be offering free admission to In American Waters during the event, so you and your growing artists can learn and enjoy the museum together.
Free, no tickets required.
