Get in the holiday spirit at this special Estelle J. Kelsey Foundation Hands ON! Second Saturday. This fun-filled community day offers free admission, hands-on art activities, a hot chocolate bar, a special rendition of ‘The Grinch’ and ‘The Nutcracker’ as well as storytelling, docent-guided tours, and even a special book signing event. Art Expeditions provides children the opportunity to engage with Museum staff and take a closer look at current works on view.

This is also our annual Museum School Open House, and the Museum School is offering a 20% discount on upcoming class registrations for this day only!
