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.

More Than Man’s Best Friend…

THROUGH SEPTEMBER 7

What do dogs, cows, chickens, turtles and birds have in common? They’re all animals, of course! Did you know that, throughout time, artists have been inspired by all kinds of animals?

What do metal, wood, paint, stone and paper have in common? They’re all materials artists use to make really terrific things!

What is enlightening, creative, cool, imaginary and fun? All the animals, materials and exciting activities that are waiting for you in Art Ways this spring!

Art Ways is sponsored by Susquehanna Bank
