Family Art Days

Winter 2026 Season begins January 10th!

Each season a new series of free Family Art Days workshops arrives at the San Juan Islands Museum of Art!

Our Family Art Days classes are taught by local artists and are a perfect Saturday activity for locals and visitors alike. Don't miss out on these hands-on art experiences for children and families! All Saturday workshops are held from noon to 2 p.m. Children (5 years and up) accompanied by at least one adult are invited. Join us, get inspired with artists from the San Juan Islands, and unleash your creativity.

Preregistration is encouraged as space is limited and classes fill up quickly!  Click the button below to see the Winter 2026 FAD classes and register you family today!

Family Art Days is made possibly through the generous gifts of our sponsors: Honeywell Foundation, Torrance Foundation, Apex Foundation, Smith Foundation, Jay & Suzy Wakefield, and Alan Roochvarg & Lynn Weber/Roochvarg.

Make Art!

Family Art Days (FAD) is a free, fun art education program intended to give children the opportunity to create a hands-on art project with an adult family member(s), adult friend, or mentor.

With Your Help
We Inspire, Connect, & Create

The San Juan Islands Museum of Art is dedicated to celebrating and sharing the beauty of art with the local community.

 

We provide a free art program for families and children, made possible by the generous donations of our supporters.
