Apparently the ASU Art Museum is always free! So hey- another alternative to the 'dinner & a movie" date night! And as a bonus, they have a free art project for the kids the first Saturday of each month. I hadn't heard about this before, but it sounds like a great cultural (& free!) activity to take your kids to.
Quoted from
ASU Art Museum's site:
"First Saturdays for Families
11:00 am - 3:00 pm
Location: ASU Art Museum
Cost: free
Curator: Andrea Feller
First Saturdays for Families is a free program at ASU Art Museum that helps teach children about art and encourages them to be creative.
Stop by on the first Saturday of each month (excluding holidays) to learn about one artist whose work is in the museum, and then make your own project based on what that artist does.
There’s no cost to participate in our events and kids get to keep their art projects. It's a perfect day for kids 4-12 and their families, and no registration is required. Just stop by the museum any time between 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. on the first Saturday of the month!
Visit the About section of our Web site or our blog for project details."
Their calendar doesn't have this event listed at all for Saturday, Jan. 2nd, probably because it's close to New Year's Day. So the next one on their calendar is Saturday, Feb. 6th.
