Free for all who walk through the doors, our annual community celebration is brimming with art-making, gallery tours, live music, pop-up performances, fun photos, a free screening of Museum Town directed by Jennifer Trainer Thompson, and tons more to inspire and explore. Kidspace turns 20 this year — join the festivities as we celebrate two decades of bringing engaging exhibitions and a vibrant art studio to both children and adults.

Plan to spend the day! You’ll find pop-up performances, a Sol LeWitt photo booth, and art projects for the entire family happening throughout the museum. End the day by dancing along to M.A.K.U.
