FREE | The Third Thursday of each month at 11:00am
Take a break from the routine and recharge with art. Connect with other new parents and caregivers, share stories, and enjoy a moment for yourself at the PMA.
Join a guided visit exploring artworks through the lens of parenthood and caregiving, led by PMA Educators.
After the program, feel free to browse the PMA Store—our selection of children’s gifts is delightful, and complimentary gift wrapping is offered.
Gather in the museum’s Great Hall (lobby) to meet other new parents and caregivers.
Engage in open conversation—sharing reflections, experiences, and perspectives sparked by the art.
All are welcome to feed, soothe, or step out as needed. Wear your baby or bring your stroller (back carriers are not permitted in the galleries). Continue the conversation afterwards over complimentary coffee or tea at the PMA Café.
Note: Food and drinks can’t come into the galleries, but you can keep them tucked in your diaper bag (which is welcome in the galleries) or store them in a secure locker. The gallery program will last about 30-45 minutes depending on group conversation.
