“We love teaming up with Above & Beyond Children’s Museum to create fun, meaningful experiences for families,” said Adam Norlander, Director of Finance and Charitable Committee member at Acuity. “By sponsoring a free day of play each month, we’re helping make it easier for everyone to explore, learn, and connect—while supporting the museum’s amazing mission to spark creativity and curiosity in every child.”
The Free Days of Play will feature an interactive craft led by museum educators in the Wonder Workshop. Participants will help create heart-shaped artwork using a rainbow of materials.
“It makes our hearts happy to know that the museum can offer open, free access to families monthly in this coming year,” said Cate Tinker, Executive Director at Above & Beyond Children’s Museum. “With Acuity’s support the museum can continue to reach and connect with families with financial barriers and be a community hub for all.”
