The Vero Beach Museum of Art (VBMA) is pleased to announce that its free admission Saturday featuring Museum Studios family activities has moved to the second Saturday of each month, with expanded programming that will entertain, educate, and inspire guests of all ages.
Second Saturdays at the VBMA will feature free admission all day, plus a variety of cultural offerings, including the widely popular Museums Studios for families from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Complementary programming such as performances, lectures, films, and related expressions of arts and humanities will continue throughout the afternoon on select Saturdays.
The next second Saturday is November 9, 2024.
On Second Saturdays, families will be greeted in the Museum lobby by friendly Visitor Services representatives and collect maps and other materials to guide their themed Museum Studios exploration. Museum Docents will take young guests and their caregivers on mini tours of the exhibition galleries before leading them to the art studios for a related activity.
Food trucks will be on-site for guests looking to grab a bite before or after their visit.
“By offering free admission and enhanced programming at no additional charge, we hope to remove financial barriers that might prevent people from visiting the VBMA,” shares Sara Klein, director of education. “‘Second Saturdays’ will have a little something for everyone.”
Be sure to mark your calendar for December 14, when VBMA presents the family-favorite Holidays at the Museum from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. During this free admission Saturday, guests can create festive art projects in the studios, enjoy music and dance performances by local student and community groups, and more.
