This spring, while our regular It Starts with Art program is on hiatus, the Spencer Museum of Art invites you to join us for some new family programs. We will experiment with new formats for multigenerational youth and family activities that include a variety of interactive, object-based explorations. These programs are free and open to the public, but we encourage advance registration.
