Enjoy afternoons of guided looking and informal drawing instruction with artist and educator Desireé Vaniecia. Each session offers the chance to carefully observe artworks, explore different techniques, and develop drawing skills in a fun, hands-on environment. Drawing materials will be available, but participants are encouraged to bring their own sketchpads and pencils. This program is designed for children ages 7–11, but all are welcome. The program begins in the museum’s galleries at the featured work of art. This is not a drop-off program; children must be accompanied by at least one adult over the age of 18. Both grown-ups and children need to register.
The program is free with regular museum admission: $12 for adults, $10 for seniors 65 and over, $4 for non-SMU students, free for members, free for youth under 18*
*Free museum admission for youth 18 and under is made possible by a grant from Fichtenbaum Charitable Trust (through August 31, 2026), Bank of America, N.A., Co-Trustee.
