Take an ART Break with family programming at the Modern while your school-aged children are on Spring Break, March 14-18.

Slow down, stop, and learn a little bit more about some of your favorite works from the Modern’s permanent collection. Each ART Break station includes a conversation with a Modern docent or educator and a gallery project focusing on selected works in the collection. On our free days, Monday and Friday, join your family and others in helping build collaborative works.

Even though you can’t touch the art (!), we have fun designed for the whole family to enjoy together. Get your creative energy flowing as you spend time with the Modern’s collection of paintings, photographs, sculpture, and video.
