Got kids? Need a little help entertaining them some weekends? Let us help! Not only are our family programs an opportunity to explore art and its history in our country, they are good, clean fun for kids of all ages. Wear your bright yellow galoshes or a frilly pink tutu. Bring your crazy cousin Eddie or dear Aunt Dora. We just want you here, having a blast and learning about a few of our favorite things. And don't forget to check our online calendar for even more things to do with the fam: AmericanArt.si.edu/calendar.
