Second Saturdays for Families at BAMPFA

BAMPFA's monthly family day pairs gallery time with hands-on art and a group read-aloud. Two programs this month: 11:30 AM – Gallery+Studio: Love Notes for the Future A guided tour of selected artworks by Maren Hassinger, followed by an art project where kids turn paper and found materials into sculptures carrying hidden messages of love and friendship. Recommended for ages 6–12 with an accompanying adult. 2:30 PM – Roundtable Reading: "The Vanishing of Lake Peigneur" by Allan Wolf, art by Jose Pimienta Kids read aloud together from the opening pages of this nonfiction graphic novel about a Louisiana lake that drained away in 1980, told from the lake's point of view. Kids who take part get a copy of the book to take home. Arrive promptly at 2:30. Recommended for ages 7 and up with an accompanying adult. Good to know: Family program admission is free for children 13 and under and one accompanying adult per child. Kids must be with an adult. No advance sign-up needed.
