First Sundays for Families
Children and families are invited to explore the collections, create art and share Sundays with the family. Enjoy interactive fun to include sketching, painting, storytelling, films, performances and more. No need to make a reservation; just stop by as we explore a new gallery each month. This program is Free for children 12 and under. See the Calendar for monthly details. First Sundays for Families is generously underwritten by Alturas Foundation.
What's in Your Museum?
SAMA offers four themed weeks of fun activities in a safe, educational environment. The classes are based on the permanent collection and incorporate a variety of activities to include gallery talks and tours, hands-on demonstrations from local artists and museum educators, painting and drawing techniques, sculpture, storytelling, creative writing and more. Through these activities, students will begin to understand how the museum collection can serve as a learning tool while encouraging the exploration of new ideas. Scholarships are used to pay the way for students nominated by teachers in SA school districts and the funds go towards paying for the portion of the program not covered by paid registrations. What's in Your Museum? is made possible by generous support from the San Antonio Museum of Art Docents.
