Art for Everyone

The Georgia Museum of Art provides a variety of children’s programs, including the below. For a listing of our children’s and family events, please click here.

Family Days

These monthly programs for families include a gallery activity and tour of an exhibition followed by a hands-on art activity in the classroom. The program is designed to educate families about the current exhibitions on view at the museum and acquaint them with the world of fine art. Refreshments are provided. Family Day programs are sponsored by the Heyward Allen Motor Co., Inc., Heyward Allen Toyota, YellowBook USA and the Friends of the Georgia Museum of Art. Please call the education department at 706.542.4662 to be added to our mailing list.

Backpack Tours (New!)

Families and children may now check out a backpack full of supplies and activities that will enhance their walk through the museum with kid-oriented and educational elements. Backpack tours are free of charge for visitors to the museum. 

Inside every pack, four folders contain the materials necessary to complete an activity relating to a work of art or artist in the museum’s permanent collection. Visitors should request a backpack at the front desk of the museum before entering the galleries. Have fun!

Just My Imagination

Just My Imagination is an exciting way for groups to discover their creativity and learn from local artists who represent the best that Georgia has to offer. Available free of charge to community centers and libraries in Georgia, these workshops are designed to provide participants with a meaningful exploration into the imaginative side of art at your own location. Your organization may host any one of the four workshops developed to give individuals a basic foundation from which they can build their skills long after the class has ended for ongoing activity and enjoyment.

Just My Imagination workshops are recommended for children ages 7 to 14 and are usually held on Saturdays. Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. This program is sponsored by the Turner Family Foundation in memory of Nancy C. Turner.

Below is a list of the workshops we currently offer.
