Art Play! is your chance to experiment. Each month, explore one medium, artist, or theme in an open studio. Go on a scavenger hunt to find inspiration in Mia’s collection, then make your own artwork in our studios. No prompts, no rules, just play.
Art Play! is free for everyone and open to all ages and abilities. Join us on the first and third Saturday of each month.
Upcoming Events
