Family Fun at the Austin Museum of Art
When you are traveling in the city of Austin, Texas and you are traveling with children, have no fears as Austin is a very kid-friendly city. One of the greatest aspects of the city is a love for arts, culture and music. The Austin Museum of Art holds special events and activities for the entire family, many of which are drop in, no appointment necessary, so when you leave your room of your perfect Austin hotel, and are walking down the street wondering where the day will take you, make sure you find your way to the museum, as educational and artistic fun awaits you there. If you happen to stop by on a second Saturday of the month, you will find any number of fun filled activities to take part in.
The second Saturday of February is the 13th, they will be offering a class in Printmaking. This is provided by a group of print-makers who travel around with their press, Drive By Press. The theme of this day will be the inspirations of music and art posters, and participants will have the opportunity for hands on printmaking using wooden blocks and the printing press. Be sure to bring along a plain tee-shirt as you will have the chance to make your own rock and roll memories you can wear home with you. This is a very inexpensive way to spend a Saturday afternoon, as the cost is just $7 for the entire family! Also offered at this time, every second Saturday, is yoga provided by the instructors of Bea Love Yoga. This takes place from 1pm to 2pm, and is a great way to stretch off the days of traveling and the stress of the day.
If you live in Austin or are going be there on an extended day, one of the museum’s ongoing programs is called Familylab. This is a space that is set up, with all of the tools you will need to create works of art, for people of all ages. This gives them a chance to make connections to the world through the medium of artistic expression and to experience that with the ones who you love. This section has the same operating hours as the Museum, and once you have paid your general admission, the Familylab is free. The Austin Museum of Art, is one of the many ways in which the city connects to all those calling Austin their homes, and to everyone who passes through.
