Art Start is a free program for children ages 3 to 5 to learn, imagine, and engage with art. The theme changes each month, so come back once a month for a fresh take on the museum! Advance registration is required and space is limited.

• Wednesday sessions are for preschools, homeschools, and daycare centers (at least two adult chaperones are required, but more are welcome!)

We Offer Bus Reimbursement!
Is the cost of the bus for a field trip a problem? No longer! WAM provides 100% bus reimbursement to all schools within reasonable driving distance of the museum.

Find the form here (scroll down to “Helpful Hints Before Your Visit”)

• Thursday sessions are for individuals and families (children accompanied by an adult) at 10:30 am and 1:30 pm.
  Space is limited, and advance registration is required.
