The Museum is open late on the Third Thursday of each month to increase access for all! Stop in to see our newest special exhibitions or wander the American galleries. There is always art making on tap, with different projects and themes each month. Bring a friend or make one! Hours on Third Thursdays are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., with art making for all beginning at 5 p.m. in Art Ways. As always, admission is FREE and open to all ages and abilities, and there is free parking in the Museum’s lot at Linden Street.
In addition to open art making for all ages, there are free monthly workshops for teens and adults led by local artists. These workshops run from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. unless noted differently below. Workshops have limited space, so sign up in advance to make sure you can participate. For more information contact Genesis at grodriguez@allentownartmuseum.org.
JULY 17, 2025
Join local artist Brandon Dominguez for a collaborative evening of art making. You’ll be given a section of canvas with a graphic and encouraged to fill in blank areas with your own creative ideas. The final mural will bring together all the works into a cohesive whole while also maintaining each artist’s own artistic touch. The mural will then be sewn together after the workshop and unveiled at a later date.
Reserve your place in this workshop on July 17 HERE.
