Visiting Artist Series

The Visiting Artist Series is a yearlong celebration of the arts at The Magic House, St. Louis Children’s Museum. One weekend every month, museum visitors have the opportunity to learn from a variety of professional artists as they demonstrate their techniques. Children are invited to work alongside the artists and explore similar materials as they join in the fun of the creative process. Visiting Artist Workshops and performances are free with museum admission.

Workshops run throughout the day and no registration is required. Live performances are presented at scheduled times.

The Visiting Artist Series is made possible with the support of the Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis and TALX.
