Drop by and join in the Smart's free family activities every month! Each Family Day features hands-on art activities designed to inspire children to think about and respond creatively to art and the world around them.

This Saturday, paint portraits and make collages with still-life elements like vases and lace. Plus, make a large collaborative painting. The activities are inspired by a painting in the Museum’s collection by post-Impressionist Susanne Valadon and research done by Ebonie Pollock.

Free. All materials provided. Activities best for kids ages 4–12, accompanied by an adult.
