Second Floor galleries are temporarily closed as our HVAC system undergoes a major upgrade. Kress, American Art, Contemporary Art, and Latin American Art collections will remain off view until the upgrade is complete. Thank you for your patience!
Be inspired by EPMA’s newly refreshed galleries and join Teaching Artist, Ivan Calderon to create your own artwork with chalk pastels. EPMA Teaching Artist will then curate and display participants creations throughout the weekend in a Chalk Art Museum. Activities designed for ages four and up. Visitors can also relax or play in the Lory and Jonny Rogers Orientation Station at the museum.
The museum is open extended hours during the festival. Visit us from 9 AM - 9 PM on Friday, October 11 and Saturday, October 12. The museum will be open 12 - 5 PM on Sunday, October 13.
