Make Art: Youth and Families
The Santa Monica Museum of Art supports the art of our time through exhibitions and related programs that embrace diverse aesthetic, cultural, and ideological perspectives.

The museum's exhibitions and programs:

- present innovative work by emerging and established artists
- initiate and maintain artistic partnerships and collaborations
- connect the visual arts to other systems of information and knowledge
- provide an opportunity for audiences to experience, understand, and enjoy contemporary visual culture

The museum is an ideal environment for people of all ages, skill levels, and personal learning styles to develop their unique visions of the world through studio programs and workshops. At Emerging Artists Family Workshops, artists are teachers, and different ways of looking at the world through art are encouraged and applauded.
