Event Description

This evening is all about transit and travel. Explore methods of transportation (trains, cars, horses, and more) in the Carter’s collection and exhibitions during this sensory-friendly event for neurodivergent adults. Learn from special guests, create artwork to take home with you, and share your interests with new friends in the galleries as we look at artworks together.

Activities

  • Learn about local transit and paratransit options with Trinity Metro. Tour the inside of an off-duty bus independently, or participate in a Bus Chat with a member of the Transit Envoy Team at 6, 6:30, or 7 p.m.
  • Explore the galleries and socialize to your comfort level with our friends at UNT EPIC.
  • Create a collage using photographs and images of cars, trains, boats, planes, and other methods of transportation.
  • Visit sensory stations in the galleries and learn about methods of transportation in art by sketching, looking at maps, playing with found objects, and using thermal print cameras.
  • Learn more about Museum rules and parking on our Plan Your Visit page.
  • Download a communication board and learn about accessibility at the Carter on our Accessibility page.

While the needs of neurodivergent adults are the focus of this drop-in event, it is also fun for family and friends of all abilities.
