Families

Share the fun as a family.

Get your hands messy and create a cool piece of art. Grab a backpack filled with projects and puzzles and take off for an adventure in one of our galleries. Experience the latest special exhibition with a family audio tour, and then share your impressions over lunch in the family-friendly High Café.

There is an impressive and never-ending line-up of family fun and events every day at the High Museum of Art. From toddlers to teenagers, everyone in the family will enjoy looking at, talking about, and sharing the art experiences together.

Workshops in the Education Center

Toddler Thursdays

Greene Family Learning Gallery
Before or after visiting the galleries, families can play together in five fun activity areas: Building Buildings, Making a Mark, Telling Stories, Sculpting Spaces, and Transforming Treasure. Designed for children ages 5-10 when accompanied by an adult.

Toddler Thursday
Toddlers are taking over the High every Thursday between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Drop by our studio in the Greene Family Education Center to craft an original artwork with your tot. Head into the galleries to investigate our featured work of art and to listen to a story with everyone's favorite feline art expert, Ellsworth Kitty. Pack up the stroller because this is a play date that you don't want to miss.

Second Sunday Funday
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to make the High your destination every second Sunday of the month. Mark your family's calendar so you don't miss original performances, worldly music, crafty art activities, and more. All of this family fun is included with Museum admission and is free for members.

Family Day
Our biannual family art extravaganza is something that can't be missed. Family Days feature hands-on art projects, music, dancing, performances, and much more. Make sure you don't miss this day of creativity! Stay tuned for dates and details on our website.
