Third Saturday for Families

Third Saturday for Families is a fun, FREE art-making event at the UMFA in the Emma Eccles Jones Education Center Classroom. Each month a different hands-on project is linked to art in the UMFA collection. Activities are designed for all ages and abilities. Parents must stay with their children. You can also access family art activities online here. Join us every third Saturday from 1-4 pm. General admission is always FREE on third Saturday.
