Registration includes two drop-in workshops running on the hour at 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM, gallery activities and prompted exploration from 12:00 – 1:00 PM, and your choice of an age-appropriate Planetarium show: Magic Tree House Space Mission (grades 1-4) at 11:00 AM and Arora (grades 5 and up) at 1:00 PM.

Each Planetarium show includes a Q&A with our Assistant Curator for Science Education, Dr. Jacob Hamer, and workshops will focus on history & invention and art. Gallery cart activities in the American Perspectives and Pretty Big Things galleries will explore portraits and textiles.

Workshop Details:

Painting With Watercolors (located in the Imagination Studio) – Inspired by the "Robert Duran" exhibition currently on display, explore abstract art concepts and let the creativity flow with watercolors.
