Sensory Saturdays

The Allentown Art Museum is proud to launch Sensory Saturdays, a program designed to offer accessible art experiences for individuals with unique needs and abilities. On the second Saturday of each month we will open the Museum early, at 10 a.m., and modify our galleries to make exploration easier for visitors who benefit from reduced sensory input. Modifications including dimming lights, muting audio and video displays, and adding access to calm space in the Rodale Classroom.

In addition to dedicated time to explore the galleries, the Museum will also host sensory-friendly artmaking in the Rodale Classroom. Starting at 10 a.m., visitors can engage with hands-on artmaking projects or open creative play with a variety of materials.
