Carter Playdate

Two toddlers play with colored string on the floor of a gallery.

Carter Playdate is a monthly event for children ages 3 to 5 and their favorite grown-up. Explore artworks together each month with themed explorations of our galleries, a storytime that connects to the artworks we see, and a fun art-making activity you can do together.

American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation may be provided during this event upon advance request.
