Family Day

Join us for our free monthly event for families, kids, and the young at heart. On the second Sunday of every month, the museum is filled with hands-on art activities, storytelling, artist demonstrations, gallery hunts, self-guided tours, and more—all inspired by Mia’s incredible collection.

Upcoming Family Day Themes

July 12 | Elements of Art

Check out all the ways you can make art! Explore the seven elements of art in our studios: line, shape, color, form, value, space, and texture. Enjoy a STEAM activity outside and In-Gallery Conversations featuring pottery, paintings, photos, and more.

August 9 | Express Yourself

Beat the heat and stop by Mia to get inspired. Make unique accessories in our studios with teaching artist Maya O’Reilly. Akiko Ostlund leads a puppet show, then helps you create your own puppet. Participate in a movement activity and enjoy story time with The Children’s Theatre Company.

September 13 | Sounds of Summer

Say “see ya!” to summer with fun performances and art making. Create instruments in the studios with Laura Wennstrom and enjoy performances outside in Target Park. Food truck information coming soon.
