Family Programs

The Art Hour

During the transition to the new gallery building, the North Carolina Museum of Art has partnered with the Cameron Village Regional Library to present The Art Hour. Children learn about the unique materials and methods used to illustrate favorite storybooks and then create a picture book–inspired masterpiece.

This free program for children ages four and up is held monthly at the Cameron Village Regional Library. Dates and details are available in the Museum on the Move event listing. Registration is required, and spots fill up quickly. Call (919) 856-6723 to register today.

Beginning in May

When the new gallery building opens, programming returns with family favorites.
