Art Start is a program for children ages 3 to 5 (with an adult chaperone) to engage with art, imagine, and learn. The theme changes every month, so come back regularly for a fresh take on the museum.

Sessions are from 10:30 to 11:30 am or 1:30 to 2:30 pm. Tuesdays are for families with children with an adult. Thursdays are for preschool classes or daycare centers with children and their adult chaperones. Please note that ALL children attending Art Start sessions are required to wear a mask. 

Wow! Fall 2021 Art Start Sessions are full. For wait list information, call 316-268-4929.
