Family Art JAMs

Family Art JAMs combine age-appropriate tours and hands-on art projects carefully planned to make the Museum's exhibitions accessible to young children. The introduction of new materials and techniques challenges children to think in new ways, and interactive tours help them develop the confidence to talk about art. By asking parents to serve as assistants, models, and collaborators in their children's projects, Family Art JAMs create an enriching experience for the whole family. Reservations are required; drop-ins are permitted only if space is available. Call 434.243.2050 or email.

Family Art JAMs will now be offered on both Saturdays and Sundays at the following times:

1–3 pm: 5–7 year olds and their grownups
3–5 pm: 8–12 year olds and their grownups

Fees
Museum members: $15 for one adult and 1–2 children
Non-members: $20 for one adult and 1–2 children
