Family Sundays

Ages 3 and older with accompanying adults

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

Pre-registration is required for either the 1:00 PM or 2:00 PM time slots. The program is free for you and 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 will do a brief demonstration of the project, teach the art-making techniques, and let you explore ways to make the project your own.

November Family Sundays: Thoughtful Threads

Do you feel good about yourself when you make something new or finish doing something hard? A sense of accomplishment can give you a big feeling of pride. But does it make you better than anyone else? This month we’ll practice recognizing how pride changes the way we act, and then we’ll let go of that pride by weaving our skills together to create something new!
