The Virgin Islands Children's Museum is excited to introduce its newest program made possible through the GlobalGiving Museum Inclusion Fund: a weekly, hands-on creative art class for youth of all ages and skill levels throughout Fall 2026. Led by art teacher Ms. Guthrie, this launch provides an accessible, welcoming environment for children to explore artistic expression, develop fine motor skills, and engage with their local community.
To eliminate financial barriers for participating families, this new initiative is fully subsidized through the fund and included at no extra cost with general museum admission or membership.
Program Specifications
Schedule: Sundays (Fall 2026) | 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM
Target Audience: Open to all ages and experience levels
Capacity & Entry: Open drop-in format (no class size limit or pre-registration required)
How Fund Dollars Support This New Initiative
As the newest project under our Museum Inclusion Fund umbrella, donor contributions directly power the vital elements that make this class possible free of charge with admission:

Art Materials & Supplies: Fully funds paints, brushes, canvases, clay, paper, protective gear, and clean-up supplies required for weekly projects.
