Looking for a great way to spend the afternoon with your child? Join the Tyler Museum of Art every second saturday of the month for Family Day, from 2–4 pm in the TMA Classroom! Your children will discover their inner artists while creating their own works of art under the helpful direction of members of the TMA education staff.
The best part? Family Day activities are free! Plus we'll have refreshments and treats available to all our Family Day guests. All you have to do is drop by ready to have fun!
Family Day art activities reflect one or more of the TMA's current exhibitions, and participants are encouraged to visit the exhibitions as a part of the afternoon at the Museum. Family Day participants will receive a discounted admission price during Family Day hours. ($5 for adults/students/seniors, and free for children 12 and under.)
Reservations are not required, and visitors are free to come and go. See you next second Saturday!
