Family Programs

MOCA offers a wide range of activities for families to enjoy ranging from our FREE Family Fests to Pre-K Art Days and the International Children's Film Festival.

Family Fests

Families enjoy hands-on art activities inspired by current exhibitions, scavenger hunts, refreshments and more. Sponsored in part by STIHL.

Pre-K Art Days

Bring your little ones for an art adventure at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art! Kids ages 3-5 learn about the elements of art through storytelling, gallery tours, hands-on art activities and creative movement exercises. Early childhood specialists lead students and parents through a one-hour program designed to teach children basic art lessons.

ARTlab

Free with museum admission.

Visitors of all ages can get hands-on with interactive art stations that riff on the current exhibits. Families can enjoy creative exploration in the ARTlab and see current exhibits.
