Inspired by the museum's rotating contemporary and historic coastal New England art collections, this weekend's studio invites children to assemble multi-layered mixed-media collages incorporating beach drift finds, watercolor resist, textured fabrics, and recyclable materials. Museum teaching artists are on hand to provide encouragement and introduce age-appropriate techniques in a relaxed, joyful environment. Following the art-making, families can stroll through the museum's historic John N. A. Griswold House and modern galleries. The Griswold House and gallery additions offer ramp access and internal elevator connections accommodating strollers and mobility devices without hassle. Restrooms on the museum ground floor feature clean diaper changing decks, and the cozy museum library provides comfortable armchairs where parents can take a quiet break to attend to infant nursing or offer a bottle in a soothing space. With complimentary admission for youths under 18, it is a wonderful artistic excursion on coastal Aquidneck Island. Parents will also appreciate convenient nearby parking, accessible elevators, barrier-free pathways, clean facilities, and friendly staff members dedicated to ensuring a delightful, stress-free outing for families with infants, toddlers, and young children.
