Free. No registration required.

Drop-in Activity – all-day

The Icon Museum and Study Center is excited to offer free admission and family-friendly programs on Thursdays during school vacation. Get ready to explore the Museum’s collections, spark creativity, and discover a welcoming learning environment for all ages! Join us for activities in the galleries, auditorium, or outside on the terrace (if the weather is nice).

Each Thursday will feature a new theme inspired by the Museum’s collection or special exhibitions. The Museum will offer free admission all day, with drop-in self-guided tours and crafts available. Docent and Staff-led activities will be scheduled starting at 1:00 pm.

Guided Tour: What materials were used to create the vivid and long-lasting colors seen in the icons? Why do artists choose certain colors, and what do they make us feel?

Drop-in Activity: Learn about the symbolic meaning of color in art and use crayons, colored pencils, and paint to create your own work of art that tells a story or shows a feeling using colors.

 

This program is supported by grants from the Mass Cultural Council and the Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area.
