Kick the end-of-summer blues at Mobile Museum of Art’s Back-to-School Family Day! Thanks to their sponsors at Spire, MMoA is hosting a free backpack giveaway for students in kindergarten and up, providing essential supplies to help everyone start the school year strong.
The rest of the morning is packed with creative fun, from hands-on family art classes and face painting to an Elements of Art Scavenger Hunt. You can also visit the Mobile Public Library Bookmobile in the circle drive or join us for a guided Stroller Tour through the Handle with Care and Aminah Robinson exhibitions. With recurring Story Time LIVE! performances and gallery activities throughout the event, there’s plenty to keep the whole family inspired.
The backpack giveaway begins at 10 am and lasts until supplies are gone. Backpacks will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, and students must be present to collect them. One backpack per student. Students must be entering kindergarten or a higher grade.
