Over Thanksgiving holiday weekend, the museum hosts interactive Family Art Labs where children and their caregivers draw inspiration from showcased California and Pacific Rim artists to create original mixed-media masterpieces. Kids can pick up kid-friendly discovery tote bags at the front desk packed with sketchbook prompts, magnifying lenses, and sensory color-matching cards. Inside the studio workshop, teaching artists lead drop-in crafting sessions focusing on gratitude collages, clay sculpting, and watercolor autumn landscapes, creating a joyful, reflective cultural family outing after the Thanksgiving holiday.
