    October 31, 2024 @ 11:00 am – 12:00 pm

    Join Ms. Laurie and our Art Studio staff for a weekly drop-in art experience designed for MCM’s youngest visitors and their caregivers. Through open-ended & process-based projects, empower your little artist to freely explore materials and art-making with their senses. And the best part? We take care of cleanup!

    Today we’ll use scrapey, scratchy “monster claw” tools to create unique textures in our take-home painting projects.

    This event is free with general museum admission.
