Join us at 10:30 am to explore rhythm, movement, and meditation with Smitha Krishnan from Mohini Performing Arts! Ideal for families with children 5 and up.

Grab a sketchbook and a pencil to embark on a family-focused tour of the galleries. Led by a docent, art comes to life through stories, sketches, songs, and other fun activities! Then contribute to a community mural of Mount Tahoma, (taq?u?man) the Lushootseed name for Mount Rainier, designed by Monyee Chau.

Family Tours depart promptly at 11 and 11:30 am from the Fuller Garden Court.
