Treats of the holiday season at KMA
 
There's much in store for the WHOLE family over the Holidays at the Katonah Museum of Art.  From classes for the kids, to special evening activities, to gift ideas and even some free fun, there's a little something for everyone! 

Late Night Thursdays

You can now enjoy our critically-acclaimed Conversations in Clay exhibition on Thursday evenings, when KMA stays open late until 8:00 pm.  Do not miss the show that the New York Times has just defined as "wonderful" and "spectacular."  Admission is FREE beginning at 6:00pm, with a docent tour at 6:30pm.  Guests will also receive a coupon for a glass of wine at Willy Nick's Restaurant & Bar in Katonah.   This definitely marks the time to plan a date-night or special evening out with friends!  Conversations in Clay runs through January 11.

Great Happenings
 
KMA participates in Free Arts Day this Sunday, December 7.  There will be a 1:00 pm performance by the Westchester Chamber Orchestra String Quartet, which the entire family will love!

KMA will be open on Monday, December 29 for a post-holiday family treat.
