Youth and Family Programs

Family Sundays at the Henry are from 2-3:30 pm every second Sunday of the month. They are especially designed for adults and children to learn and create together. Each month, inspired by current exhibitions, we will focus on different activities and new ways of immersing ourselves in the art. Family Sundays are best suited for elementary-aged children, but we encourage older or younger kids to join in.
