Art Play!

Art Play! is your chance to experiment—a different medium each month—on the first and third Saturday of the month. Go on a scavenger hunt to find works in that medium in Mia’s collection, then make your own artwork in our studios. No prompts, no rules, just play.

Art Play! is free for everyone and open to all ages and abilities.
