Our entertaining, interactive programs for children ages 5-14 combine art education with hands-on creation. Each week, students explore selected art works in the museum and make their own art based on the techniques, media and traditions they discover.
Cory Hills directs his second Music into Art workshop for children ages 7 – 12 using original works of art to inspire children to create their own percussive stories. The four-day workshop will culminate with a free public concert March 18 at 6 PM.

The Spencer offers special Family Days throughout the year in conjunction with exhibitions. Hands-on activities, family guides to the exhibitions, performances, and kid-friendly films encourage a fun family-oriented atmosphere at the museum.
The Spencer offers a variety of additional activities for children and families including a self-guided gallery monthly activity available during museum hours and several online activities.
