About The Event
Join us this fall as we explore the wonders of transformation. Play Days at the CMA are opportunities for the whole family to be creative, be curious, and connect through art.

The afternoon includes art-making activities, collaborative projects, music, games, and more. Visit the David and Helen Kangesser Gallery (228A) to see artworks by Skuodas, Mieczkowski, and other local artists.
