On Saturday, November 13, 2021, between 11:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., the Boca Raton Museum of Art invites you to join us for a family fun day of art.  When family members engage in art or play-based therapeutic activity, they often express thoughts and feelings that they otherwise may not feel comfortable expressing through traditional family talk therapy. Art and play-based activities can unlock a deeper level of communication.

Join in the celebration of music, dance, and art-making at the Museum’s Bi-Annual Family Day. Enjoy watching an artist create artwork, listen to classmates singing and dancing, and make your own masterpiece. There’s plenty to see and do! 

The Boca Raton Museum of Art is located at  801 West Palmetto Park Road, Boca Raton.
