Join us for fun and free drop-in art-making and live musical performances outdoors between the Cantor Arts Center and  Anderson Collection.

ART for ALL Family Day is a celebration for all families and ages. Engage with art at the Stanford museums through free hands-on art activities and live music outside on the lawn plus story time and a scavenger hunt in the galleries! Our Fall Family Day activities will be inspired by the Cantor’s new exhibition Shahzia Sikander: Collective Behavior, Archive Room: Ruth Asawa, Edmonia Lewis: Indelible Impressions as well as Anderson’s Permanent Collection: Nick Cave's Soundsuit and short film Drive-By, and Alteronce Gumby's artwork. In the afternoon, enjoy lively bhangra dance performances by Dholrhythms Dance Group, blending traditional Punjabi folk dance with contemporary influences for an energetic, ineractive celebration of Punjabi music and culture.

This event is SOLD OUT. Please join us for our next Family Day in April 2026!
