Current Events

Have you ever looked at a tree and seen a face in the bark? Or watched the clouds to see fantastical creatures float by? Then you might have experienced the phenomenon, pareidolia, which is the tendency to see faces in random objects. Let’s explore pareidolia during Kid Quest: Finding Faces as we make unique and creative shapes to find faces and creatures in!

Kid Quest is a FREE family program for all ages! This event features activities that help you explore the Museum galleries, local community booths, and an opportunity for artmaking in the Center for Creativity.

Community Engagement programs are made possible with funding from Xcel Energy Foundation, Alex Stern Family Foundation, Otter Tail Corporation Foundation, and Kiwanis Club of Fargo.

Join us for a conversation with artist Alicia Hauff for an in-depth look into the ties between art making and the environment.

Join us at the Museum for a morning of stories, exploration, and creativity! Each session begins with a story led by the Fargo Public Library, followed by a guided gallery visit and a hands-on activity. Then, head to our making space to create a unique, themed artwork to take home. Free with registration.

Each month features a new theme and project tailored for young artists. Ideal for children ages 2-5. Younger siblings (under age 2) are welcome to accompany the group.

Tuesdays for Toddlers is made possible with support from Xcel Energy Foundation, Alex Stern Family Foundation, Otter Tail Corporation Foundation, Kiwanis Club of Fargo, and the Friends of the Fargo Public Library.

Discover the world of contemporary quilt making in this curatorial team-led tour.
