Summer Fun’s Coming to the Carter
Summer’s coming!
It’s time for the annual parental dilemma. You want to keep your kiddos off the screens over the summer, but outside is approximately the temperature of dark side of the sun. How do you keep your little darlings engaged and thinking without courting spontaneous combustion? Simple.
The Carter.
There’s always so much to do for kids of all ages at the Carter. Just take a look!
Plan ahead for summer fun!
Wednesdays in June and July
10 a.m.–noon
We’re gearing up for a story-filled summer! Sing along with your favorite performer, cuddle up with a book, make art as a family, and enjoy opportunities to connect with Carter artworks all summer long. This FREE storytime program is designed for families with children of all ages.
REGISTER HERE FOR ANY AND ALL ART TALES!

ARTivity totes at the Carter
Are you visiting the Carter with kids? Activity bags—called ARTivity totes—can be checked out for free at the Information Desk and are full of fun questions, prompts, and games (in both English and Spanish) for families to use in the galleries. Learn more about our favorite family resource for in-gallery fun in this Carter ARTicle.
While lots of family events are free to the public, there are members-only events that make getting a family membership to the Carter worth the while! Click here to learn about membership with the family add-on!
