Family art fun at the Milwaukee Art Museum — free for kids under 12.
Part I
About this event
The Milwaukee Art Museum invites families to dive into a world of creativity with their Drop-In Art Making sessions at Kohl’s Art Studio. Each month, the studio offers new projects inspired by the museum’s collection, allowing kids to experiment with different art techniques and mediums. It's a fantastic way for families to bond and explore their artistic sides without any pressure.
The best part? Admission to the studio is included with the museum ticket, and kids 12 and under enjoy free entry. This makes it an affordable and enriching experience for families looking to spend a day immersed in art. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this is a delightful way to engage with the museum’s offerings and inspire young artists.

Part II · The feel
The details organizers don't always put in the description — pulled from the room, the crowd, and what people remember afterward.
Dim and seated throughout. Intimate, slow-paced.
Designed for 3–6 people. Good group-of-friends territory.
