Do you work at UNLV? Are you the parent or guardian of a child? Are you taking part in Take Your Child to Work Day on April 27? Then bring your kid to the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art and join in the Museum’s new workshop.
Between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. you’re invited to visit the Museum’s galleries where you can see paintings, drawings, sculptures, and other kinds of artwork that invite your child to ask questions about the desert ecosystem, personal narratives, recycling, and more.
Then participate in an activity inspired by Am I Your Type, an exhibition that focuses on the power of words and letters. Children and adults will work together to create a story about the child’s visit to the Marjorie Barrick Museum, telling us what they saw, what they thought about it, and how their own artwork might look if it appeared in a museum exhibition.
This event is free.
Take Your Child to the Barrick 2023 takes place at the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. on Thursday, April 27, 2023. Masks are recommended. The Museum is open every week from Tuesday - Saturday, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Admission is always free.

About the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art
The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art believes everyone deserves access to art that challenges our understanding of the present and inspires us to create a future that holds space for us all. Located on the campus of one of the most racially diverse universities in the U.S., we strive to create a nourishing environment for those who continue to be neglected by contemporary art museums. As the only art museum in the city of Las Vegas, we commit ourselves to leveling barriers that limit access to the arts. Our collection of artworks offers an opportunity for everyone to develop a deeper knowledge of contemporary art in Southern Nevada. The Barrick Museum is part of the College of Fine Arts at the University of Nevada Las Vegas.
