Preschooler concentrating on drawing

VMFA's youngest artists — from toddlers to preschoolers — embrace a world of art, culture, and imagination through unique hands-on activities, storybook reading, gallery visits, and more. Designed around Virginia's Foundation Blocks for Early Learning, these programs focus on skills related to good citizenship, personal expression, reading, problem solving, and motor skills — all while relating to the history, science, and language arts curriculum. Not to mention, they're fun!
