Mini Mia
Look, play, and learn with your child at Mini Mia! This free program occurs on the first Wednesday of each month at 10:15 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. and the first Friday of each month at 10:15 a.m. In February, an additional session will take place on the first Saturday at 10:15 a.m.
Mini Mia features a gallery tour specially designed for caregivers and little ones (ages 0–5), a movement class, and a cozy story time. Try out close looking in the galleries and develop large and fine motor skills through movement. Make new friends and introduce your child to the wonders of art in a comfortable, kid-friendly setting.
We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and a front-facing carrier (if appropriate) for this program.
There’s a max of two children per caregiver. To ensure space to move, please bring no more than two adults per child. You may arrive up to 30 minutes early. Programs start promptly at 10:15 a.m. and 12:15 p.m.
Free registration is required. Registration opens on the 15th of the month for the following month’s sessions.
