  Celebrate your Saturday afternoon with free art supplies and room to sketch in one of the world’s best art museums.

  Visit the Museum on the second Saturday of the month for a themed drop-in sketching program, free with paid museum admission.
  
  Pick up art supplies in the Main Entrance Gallery and use the guided prompts to explore themes, genres and styles within the art collections as you sketch your own creation.
  
  Afterward, head to Museum Café to share your sketches with fellow artists, enjoying happy hour treats for sale.
