SmARTy Packs, funded by the David R. Clare and Margaret C. Clare Foundation, are tote bags filled with guides and art activities suitable for ages five and up that remove some of the barriers to a museum visit:
- There’s no need to register in advance! SmARTy Packs are available for check out at the information desk.
- They’re free to check out!
- SmARTy Packs engage the senses and give little hands something to touch!
- No expertise necessary! SmARTy Packs allows parents and children to learn together through activities designed to make art accessible.
SmARTy Packs include three activities and are available for check out at the information desk by leaving a driver’s license.
Each pack contains an activity sheet that will lead families to works of art in the galleries, direct their looking through dialogue and inquiry methods, and provide instructions for a hands-on activity related to what they have seen, as well as consumable materials for each activity.
Depending on how much time families have, they may do all three activities or focus on just one activity with the option to return and complete the others.
The fun continues: sign up for our e-newsletter to learn about new additions to the SmARTy Packs!
