Free Family Days | Santa Barbara Museum of Art
Welcome to Marjorie Cowley - Arts & Entertainment - Books and Literature
At Marjorie Cowley, we strive to provide enriching experiences for families and foster a love for the arts in children. Our Free Family Days at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art are designed to engage kids and families in a world of artistic activities, learning, and exploration.
Discover a World of Artistic Activities
Our Free Family Days offer a unique opportunity for children to immerse themselves in the wonders of art. These events, carefully curated by our team, provide a range of activities that ignite creativity and nurture a passion for artistic expression.
Engaging Workshops
From painting to sculpture, our engaging workshops cover various art forms and techniques. Led by talented instructors, children have the chance to experiment with different mediums and explore their own artistic style. With hands-on guidance, they can create their own masterpieces and unleash their imagination.
Interactive Gallery Tours
Our interactive gallery tours take families on a journey through different art periods and themes. Children can discover the stories behind famous paintings, sculptures, and installations, as knowledgeable guides provide insights and spark conversations. These tours encourage dialogue and critical thinking, enhancing the educational value of the museum experience.
Artistic Demonstrations
Witnessing artists at work can be a truly inspiring experience. During our Free Family Days, we arrange live artistic demonstrations where skilled artists showcase their techniques and processes. Children get a chance to observe, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of the creative process. These demonstrations allow kids to witness the magic of art being brought to life.
A Fun-Filled Day for the Whole Family
Our Free Family Days are not just about art, but also about creating memorable experiences for the whole family. We believe that art can bring people together, and our events are designed to foster a sense of community and connection.
Collaborative Projects
Participating in collaborative art projects is a fantastic way to bond with family members and fellow art enthusiasts. These projects encourage teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills. Families can work together to create something extraordinary, leaving them with a sense of accomplishment and shared memories.
Performances and Entertainment
In addition to art-focused activities, our Free Family Days feature lively performances and entertainment. From music to dance, storytelling to theater, these engaging performances captivate audiences of all ages. The combination of art and live entertainment makes for a truly immersive and enjoyable experience.
Expand Your Horizons
Our Free Family Days aim to inspire children and families to think outside the box, explore new perspectives, and ignite their curiosity.
Special Exhibitions and Installations
Throughout the year, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art hosts special exhibitions and installations that showcase innovative artwork. Our Free Family Days often coincide with these events, providing a fantastic opportunity for families to engage with contemporary artists and experience thought-provoking installations firsthand.
Artistic Workshops for Parents
We believe that parents play a crucial role in nurturing their children's love for the arts. Therefore, we also offer workshops specifically designed for parents, providing them with tools and techniques to engage their children in artistic activities at home. These workshops empower parents to become active participants in their child's creative journey.
Community Involvement
As advocates for arts education, we actively collaborate with local schools and community organizations. Through our Free Family Days, we aim to reach a wider audience and create a space where families from all backgrounds can come together and enjoy the transformative power of art.
