The Judith Lennox Sabatini is a hands-on art learning facility designed for people of all ages. This exploration area is fun and family oriented. The current activity “Art 101: Exploring the Basics” includes fifteen activity stations that explore different aspects of the arts including (but not limited to) contour drawing, mosaic, self portrait, texture, installation art, historical understandings of columns and capitals and cave exploration for hieroglyphs. Each activity station includes directions and reflections and follow-up activities that relate to the artwork(s) on display in the Museum’s galleries.
In addition to Art 101, the  hosts a discovery/activity area designed to create take-home artworks specifically related to current exhibitions. After creating art in this area, individuals are encouraged to display their art in the  gallery and then practice their curatorial and interpretation skills. Every  activity has been created to provide a holistic art museum experience. The  includes a reading library where visitors are encouraged to check out art books and view past exhibition catalogs and other art materials from around the world.
Artistic opportunities are endless at the  !
