FAMILY SUNDAYS at the Rubin Museum 150 W 17th Street
FREE ART-MAKING WORKSHOPS
EVERY SUNDAY OF THE MONTH, 1:00 – 3:00 PM
Ages 3 and older with accompanying adults
Family Sundays are held every Sunday from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM in-person at the Rubin Museum of Art. The program takes place in the Mandala Lab, located on the third floor. Pre-registration is required for either the 1:00 PM or 2:00 PM time slots. The program is free for you and your family, and each ticket comes with free access to the Museum galleries. Each month we explore a new theme, with an art-making activity centered around that theme. A Museum educator will do a brief demonstration of the project, teach the art-making techniques, and let you explore ways to make the project your own.
