Family Drop-In Programs at the Newark Museum

Inspired by the Museum's collections and special events, monthly themes are designed for visitors of all ages to drop in and experiment with the tools and materials of artists. Get messy with clay and paint and found materials.  Get creative with blocks and digital and computer tools.   Stay as long as you like.  Saturdays and Sundays.

February's Theme: 

Black History: A Modern NarrativeThe past is prophetic in that it asserts loudly that wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.  -- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Let's explore the rich history of African Americans who have contributed to the advancement of the art, history and the humanities, both in and outside of our communities.  Explore identity as  you roam around the Museum's rich collection of African American art and artists.Family gallery programs are made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
