Art After Dark

November 4 - 11, 2026 | 4-7pm

This free, drop in program is designed for kids and families ages 4 and up. Activities will follow themes of nature and science, but with a special focus on learning, processing, and making personal connections to subject matter through art. Families can enjoy open-ended collaborative or individual projects, nature journal prompts inspired by the Conservatory collection and conversations about Chicago’s ecosystems and our place in them, in a calm and inviting atmosphere!

This program is included in all reservations to visit the Conservatory, book your reservation ahead of time here: here (link opens in a new tab)

 

Family programs are supported in part by Peoples Gas Community Fund, The Dr. Scholl Foundation and PNC.
