On the Second Saturday of each month, the Allentown Art Museum offers early access to the galleries for visitors seeking a calming experience. From 10 until 11 a.m., modifications are made to the Museum’s environment, such as dimming lights, offering free sensory kits, and providing access to a Calm Space to read or contemplate with a view of the Arts Park. Sensory Saturdays are intended for children aged 5-16 and their families but are open to all visitors who want to experience the galleries in a different way.

In addition to early access to the Museum’s galleries, Sensory Saturdays include early access to the ArtVentures program in Art Ways Interactive Family Gallery, a drop-in artmaking workshop for all ages. During Sensory Saturday artmaking hours, a variety of materials and projects will be available to choose from. Activities and materials will change each quarter. Artmaking will be available on a drop in, first come first served basis.
