Art Museum Day underscores the critical role art museums play as cultural resources in their communities and celebrates the unique opportunities AAMD member museums offer visitors to engage with works of art. This year, Montclair Art Museum is presenting its semiannual FREE Family Day to coincide with the celebration. Families are invited to a day of exploration with many Museum-wide, drop-in art activities from 1 to 5 p.m. Roll up your sleeves and enjoy art projects for the entire family inspired by MAM’s collection and special exhibitions! May 17 is also the last day to see MAM’s critically acclaimed exhibition Come as You Are: Art of the 1990s, the first major museum survey to examine the art of this pivotal decade in its historical context. At 2 p.m., visitors are invited to a Public Tour focusing on that exhibition. MAM also invites guests to share their experiences on Art Museum Day via social media with the hashtag #ArtMuseumDay. “Art museums are invaluable communal spaces that bring people together to experience the arts across cultures and generations,” AAMD represents 242 art museums across the United States, Canada, and Mexico—from regional museums to large museums in major urban centers. International Museum Day is organized annually around the world by the International Council of Museums (ICOM). AAMD’s Art Museum Day is an opportunity to focus attention on the role of art museums in North America. A comprehensive list of participating AAMD member art museums will be available on the AAMD website (http://www.aamd.org/) Sponsorship Free Family Days are made possible, in part, by the Horizon Foundation for New Jersey.
