Family Fun Day at The Hunter Museum Is April 2

  • Friday, March 24, 2017

Children and families from across the region are invited to the Hunter Museum on Sunday, April 2, from 2-4 p.m. for Family Fun Day/Día de diversión Familiar, an afternoon of hands-on activities and live performances inspired by the Hunter’s current special exhibition Our America: The Latino Presence in American Art, on loan from the Smithsonian American Art Museum. 

Family Fun Day/Día de diversión Familiar will feature maraca decorating; the creation of hojalata, a traditional tin art practiced in Mexico; South American rain stick making; demonstrations of traditional Latin American dance; a performance by members of the East Lake Expression Engine; special exhibit highlights from STEM school teen docents; storytelling; translation word games, and a kid-friendly art scavenger hunt in the galleries. 

Family Fun Day/Día de diversión Familiar is free to all kids 17 and under, is free to members, and is $15 per non-member adult, which allows admission to all permanent and temporary exhibitions, including Our America: The Latino Presence in American Art. 

Our America presents works in all media by nearly 70 leading modern and contemporary artists. Drawn entirely from the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, this exhibition showcases artists of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Dominican descent, as well as other Latin American groups with deep roots in the United States.   

Our America: The Latino Presence in American Art is presented in Chattanooga with support from the SunTrust Foundation. Family Fun Day is generously sponsored by the Mark Hite Team, with refreshments courtesy of Publix.
