General admission for children 17 years and under is always free

Saturday Open Studio experiences spark creativity through artistic experimentation and foster connections with art and others. Visitors engage with the Museum's rich collection, special exhibitions, and each other through hands-on, interactive workshops developed in collaboration with Boston artists. Prior experience with art-making is not required.

REMIX / RESTITCH

Remix a work of art from the Gardner's collection. Add some flash with color and abstraction, or select pixels of the images to stitch with embroidery.
