Free Family Day Artist Totes
During October’s Family Day weekend (October 9–10, 10 a.m.–2 p.m.), you can pick up a free Family Day Artist Tote that contains printmaking materials at Mia’s Third Avenue entrance.
Materials in the kit complement the Virtual Family Day program’s activities but are not essential to enjoying the activities. Totes are available while supplies last.
