Overview

Spend a whimsical and wonderful Saturday in the John and Joyce Caddell Sculpture Garden at the Museum’s annual Flimp Festival, a celebration of imagination, humor, and creativity. Appropriate for all ages but designed for families and young children, Flimp is free to attend and features art-making activities, outdoor games, a photo booth, music, resources for families from local partners, and vendors with food for purchase.

Check out our participating artists and community members below.

Note: Licensed service animals are always welcome at the Museum and in the Garden, but please, leave your pets at home. Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities.

This event is rain or shine; in the case of inclement weather, activities will be moved indoors.

More Details Coming Soon!
