What do hip kids and their (possibly) cooler parents do to spark creativity? Attend Arty Pants: Your Tuesday Playdate, featuring activities for adults and youngsters ages 3–5. Join us each month on the second and fourth Tuesdays for art projects, films, gallery activities, and story time.

Chance and Dance

You and your tot will learn about legendary choreographer Merce Cunningham as guest instructors get you grooving in a playful new way, and then you’ll head into the art lab for adventures with time and space and films that celebrate dance. Bring a friend for this moving experience.
