Mini Makers pairs exploring art in Joslyn’s galleries with a simple art-making activity for preschoolers ages 3–5. A grown-up accompanies each child, so this is a shared museum visit rather than a drop-off class.
Joslyn describes Mini Makers as an early museum experience for young children, before they attend art classes on their own. The accompanying adult stays alongside the preschooler for the session; families should plan for an adult to attend, not treat it as child care.
The museum says families can try one session or attend multiple ones. This listing is for the Nov. 13 session; it does not give dates for other sessions.

The listing names Therese Straseski as teaching artist and confirms a simple art-making activity, but it does not announce a theme, material, technique or finished project. Families can plan for gallery exploration and making, without counting on a particular craft or take-home result.
