Family Programs

Free

10 a.m. - 12 p.m.

Explore the exhibition “Mary Heilmann: To Be Someone” and discover the work of an artist that has used geometric abstraction, Color Field painting, and Minimalism to share personal experiences of boundless possibilities. Participate in a guided conversation and then collaborate with your family to create your own abstract painting.

From 11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m., families are invited into our theater to view a 30-minute program of short films provided by kidsfilmfest.

Children under 18 are always admitted free. No preregistration is required. Tickets are given out on a first-come, first-served basis.
