Tours for Tots


Every Wednesday at 10am at the AGA


Tours for Tots is a weekly in-person art exploration for children ages 3-5 and their parents, consisting of playful activities, whimsical storytelling and hands-on art-making. Our aim is to create a dynamic program which fosters meaningful relationships, community awareness, well-being, visual literacy and creative expression.

Each week features a different theme and a new opportunity to be creative together.
