November: What Makes a Home?  

What makes a home feel cozy, safe, and special? 

Is it a favorite toy, a big comfy couch, or the people inside? 

Explore the idea of “Home” with colors and textures. 

Art Start is a free program for children ages 3 to 5 (accompanied by an adult) that aims to support early learners to imagine, learn, create, and engage with art. Advance registration is required. 

  • Sessions are Thursdays from 10:30 to 11:30 AM or 1:30 to 2:30 PM.  

The theme changes each month, so come back once a month for a fresh take on the museum!  

Please only register your child for ONE session each month.
