The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum

Creative Family programs are rooted in the concept that artists—innovators fueled by curiosity, risk-taking, and experimentation—naturally connect with and stimulate the inherent sense of wonder in a child. The Aldrich trusts in the ability of families to explore sophisticated art and generate diverse ideas around and in response to it. Afternoon studios, camps, weekend workshops, and family friendly exhibition tours allow for peer-to-peer learning and intergenerational exchange.

The Art Spot

Whether a two year old working with a parent or a High School student preparing a portfolio for art school admission, experiences here are individual even in a group setting, and by and for the artist themselves.
