Family Events
Our family events are high-energy programming developed in collaboration with our cultural partners. Family Events target families that have yet to make a museum visit, and mobilize our community of 400+ educators to drive cultural participation. Events held at the annual Museum Mile Festival, and at the Studio Museum in Harlem each drew more than 1,300 parents and children. Save the date for the second annual Catch the Cool!
