As a part of our commitment to intergenerational learning, SI offers regularly scheduled programs for families of any shape and size. Family Hours is our premier program designed to connect children 4-12 years old with caregivers, other family members, and friends through playful experimentation and artistic creation. Other engagements for families are offered intermittently through collaborations with essential partners.

Family Hours presents hands-on, artist-led activities inspired by the current exhibitions on view and an environmentally conscious approach to artmaking. Always before the galleries open to the public and always free, Family Hours welcome young artists and their familial collaborators from near and far. Activities, themes, and materials change month-to-month!
