These fun, educational workshops invite children ages 2-12 and their adult companions to take part in a shared learning experience that take visitors into our galleries and art studios. Activities offer families the opportunity to reflect on the artworks presented in museum exhibitions as they work collaboratively to create unique works of their own with a variety of different materials. 

The art projects are as diverse as the Queens Museum’s dynamic permanent and changing exhibitions. From building monsters to designing city blocks to making puppets, the art works are created by adults and children together under the guidance of skilled and caring teaching artists and a team of youth assistants from the Queens Teens program.

On the third Sunday of each month, there are art workshops led by licensed art-therapists, geared particularly toward families with special needs children, including those on the autism spectrum.
