Family Art JAMs

Families first! Make-and-take art for families is now available on a regular basis in the Museum’s new and growing hands-on space. Families will briefly explore a special exhibition or work of art with a studio instructor and then create art related to what they see and learn. These hands-on activities are for young artists, ages 4–12, and their families/caregivers. Intergenerational experiences are encouraged. Refreshments are provided. Reservations are required (434.243.2050); drop-ins are permitted if space is available.

Fees: Members $5 for one adult and 1–2 children; $12 for non-members; $2 for each additional child or adult.
