Family Studio
We have exciting programming for families this summer! Make sure to note the date and time for each event. Family Studio is recommended for children kindergarten through 6th grade and their families, but older and younger children are always welcome.
Register at on Eventbrite to reserve your space. Parents and guardians are asked to participate with their child during the program. Visit the online calendar for the latest information as topics may change slightly.
Family Programs are supported in part by a City of Auburn K-12 Arts Education Outreach Grant. A five-dollar suggested donation is appreciated in continued support of programs.

Homeschool Art Club is a new program that will be a Family Studio style program (our weekend public program) created just for homeschool families! Each Art Club will feature a project that is different from our Family Studio project that month. We will start each Art Club by visiting the galleries and then will complete an art project inspired by the theme that day!
Our May project will be inspired by the IBM poster exhibition.
