After School Art Adventure

Tuesdays 3:45-5:15, Starting Sept. 30

Join us for an exciting after-school experience where young artists explore the vibrant world of contemporary art at the Missoula Art Museum. Each Tuesday, children ages 6-11 will embark on a creative adventure that begins with a guided tour through MAM's current exhibitions, discovering new artists, techniques, and ideas that will fuel their own artistic expression.

After exploring the galleries, students dive into hands-on art projects directly inspired by what they've seen and learned. From painting and drawing to sculpture and mixed media, each session offers fresh creative challenges that help young artists develop their skills while having fun with friends.

Art in the Moment

Mondays, Twice a Month 1:30-3:30 pm

This program provides therapeutic benefits for elders experiencing memory loss by processing emotions and sparking memories through art. It creates a comforting space for those in early-stage dementia and their caregivers, fostering a dementia-friendly community in a creative, relaxed environment. Participants view artwork in small groups guided by MAM Teaching Artists, education staff, and volunteers, then create original art in the education classroom. Offered on the first Monday of warmer months (breaks February-March), the program serves community members and residents from memory care facilities. MAM developed this program to address our community's growing geriatrics population in partnership with Dementia-Friendly Missoula, The Springs and Village Memory Care Facilities, Missoula Aging Services, the Library's Memory Café, and the Montana Geriatrics Education Foundation.
