Enjoy free admission from noon to 4 pm on the third Sunday of every month! Each monthly Free Arts! Family Days explores a new S.T.E.A.M. themed activity, giving families time to immerse themselves in science, technology, engineering or math while creating some inspired art. All activities are designed to be accessible for young visitors while also engaging the young at heart. Free Arts! Family Days use each monthly focus to encourage creativity and collaboration among families and friends.
We hope to see you there!

COMMUNITY GALLERY
noon - 4 pm | Paper Papillons Take Flight
Put your engineering skills to the test as we construct paper butterfly gliders to celebrate the spring migration of the monarch butterfly! Challenge friends and family to a creative competition to see whose paper butterfly glides farthest. You’ll also enjoy “welcome back” paper butterflies sent from students in Mexico in response to October’s Family Day when we created other paper butterflies that were sent to Mexico.

“A sense of reverence has fueled my photography of the natural world and its remarkable beauty. I resonate with images that depict a peaceful coexistence between humans and nature. These quiet moments with my camera bring me back to my childhood: exploring, being curious, dreaming, seeing, and breathing in the beauty surrounding me.” – Karey Walter
