Family Sundays

Ages 3 and older with accompanying adults

Family Sundays are in person at the Rubin! Bring your family to the Rubin Museum’s new space, the Mandala Lab, for an afternoon of creativity and self-exploration that both kids and grown-ups will enjoy.

Preregistration is required for either the 1:00 PM or 2:00 PM time slots. The program is free for your family, and each ticket comes with free access to the Museum galleries. Each month we explore a new theme, with an art-making activity centered around that theme. A Museum educator does a brief demonstration of the project, teaches the art-making techniques, and lets you explore ways to make the project your own.

August Family Sundays: Mandala-Land

Which emotions help us and which can cause suffering? How can we transform those emotions using tools in the Mandala Lab? Join us for Family Sundays in August to make your own board game and explore your path to transforming your emotions! Choose the emotion that speaks to you and design a game that you can play with loved ones or on your own.
