Interactive Kids' Exhibit open each summer
What is Artzeum?
Artzeum is a FREE annual interactive children’s arts exhibit happening each summer at our Kemp Center location.
It includes multiple interconnected activity stations where kids can learn about the arts through play.
Each year our staff selects a new theme, allowing us to create new experiences for participants.
The exhibit is designed for ages 6 - 12 but is suitable for older children, or younger children with one-on-one adult assistance.
Open during regular hours: Monday - Saturday 9:00AM-5:00PM and late Thursdays until 8:00PM

Artzeum is a component of both our galleries and education programming. It is open free of charge to all visitors. Our goal is to continue partnership with several local arts and children’s organizations, helping to bring a wider audience to the exhibit.
Artzeum is designed from the ground-up each year to fit the annual theme. This primarily includes staff-designed components, as well as elements provided by other organizations. Each activity station is carefully composed to provide experience with different types of arts and arts thought-processes. This includes poetry and writing, visual art, and music, as well as engaging children through story-telling, reading, and movement.
This free community exhibit is funded solely through donation and sponsorship.
