Tour for caregivers—plus art activities for kids!
🖼️ 🎨 🌿 Join us for Pause + Play, a new program held in conjunction with Krannert Art Museum’s "Rest Lab 8: Greenspace" exhibition. Kids (ages 4–8) will dive into playful, drop-off art activities led by museum educators, while their caregivers get a guided tour exploring the museum's galleries and artworks on view. The program balances restorative pause with playful engagement, offering parallel experiences that nurture both adults and children.
