Artventures is on the move! Starting in October, you’ll find two new Artventures art carts in
the galleries. One cart features our always popular monthly themed art project, while the
second cart is stocked with art puzzles, children’s artful books, in-gallery activities, and much
more. We’ve also added a new activity–Artwork of the Month. Each month, we’ll highlight a
piece of art from the Museum's collection so you and your family can get to know us a
little better. Sunday Artventures is part of FREE Sundays at the Museum.

Art Ways Interactive Family Gallery
In Art Ways, a unique interactive learning center, we throw caution
to the wind and invite your family to look, learn, play, read, create, and yes, even touch
together! Through a variety of hands-on, activity-based stations, your family members can make
themselves at home in this fun-filled space while learning all about the world of art. Art
Ways is always open during regular Museum hours, free with Museum admission.
Through the Looking Glass
OCTOBER 7– MAY 25
Look very, very closely. What do you see? Insects flit, moonbeams sparkle, water ripples, and
petals cascade. We live in a fascinating world full of the splendor and harmony of nature’s
pattern, design, and color. It’s pretty amazing, don’t you agree? Inspired by Tiffany by Design and
Alphonse Mucha: Art Nouveau Extraordinaire, Art Ways gives you the opportunity to observe and
explore beautiful details created by Mother Nature that have inspired artists for centuries.
Family Time
FIRST SATURDAY OF EVERY MONTH, 1 PM AND 3 PM
Looking for some family fun on a Saturday afternoon? Join us on the first Saturday of every
month, October through April, as we introduce families to the Museum’s permanent collection
through hour-long thematic, interactive gallery programs. Designed for children six years and
older accompanied by an adult friend, this is an afternoon of touchable objects, lively activities,
and engaging discussions that will bring works of art to life in new and exciting ways. Meet in
the SOTA Foyer. Free with Museum admission.
