Low Sensory Morning

Low Sensory Morning
We invite participants into the museum an hour before we open to the public to provide a quiet and low-stimulating environment where you can enjoy hands-on art-making activities and experience art in the galleries.

Visual resources, hand fidgets, a low sensory break room and other accommodations will be provided. This is an activity for families with children on the autism spectrum or people who have sensory sensitivities.

Drop in art making activities available in FLC Classrooms 4 & 5 during this event from 9–10:30 am.
