Hand's On Art

IN THE LEARNING CENTER

Drop into The Pollack Family Learning Center during regular Museum hours to enjoy a variety of art-making activities related to our current exhibitions. Projects and materials change with each exhibition and may range from assemblage and collage to weaving or watercolors.  Stop by often to see what's new! 

SUMMER CREATIVITY CLUB

In these in-depth, art-making workshops, students ages 6-12 explore various materials, themes, and techniques in unique and creative ways. Each workshop will have two age groups and includes gallery visits, a lunch break in our garden, and art projects inspired by the works on view.

SCHOOL'S OUT/ART'S IN

Come to the KMA on select school vacation days and join teaching artists for unique art projects inspired by the works on view. Children ages 3-8 participate with an adult; 9 and older can participate on their own, although parent/caregiver must remain at the Museum.
