Bring your family and drop in at 1, 2, or 3 p.m. to join in with an in-gallery family activity exploring the world of weaving and ceramics, learn more about artists Toshiko Takaezu and Lenore Tawney, and experience the museum in a new way.

Afterward, head to the studios for a hands-on artmaking activity that you can take home. See you there!
