smART Families

smART Families is an SBMA support group whose members are dedicated to educating their children in the visual arts, while also supporting the larger art education outreach activities of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art.

The program consists of five events per school year, where children and their families explore SBMA's world-class exhibitions. Using the concepts learned from private docent talks, children have the opportunity to create their own masterpieces, using a wide variety of materials and techniques.
