Get inspired! Our NEW series Community Craft celebrates Cleveland's arts community by bringing local artists in to lead hands-on workshops.
In our July class, we will meet the local photographer, Hattie Kotz. Hattie will show us how a camera makes a photo and share some ideas on how to build a composition. Then, our young learners will use their new skills as we take turns joining Hattie “in studio” to snap some instant photos of their own. Outside of the studio, students will work to create their own scrapbook collages to display their photos.

Pop in to Crafternoon! This drop-in art experience allows young learners to explore artistic mediums and craft their own creations in a flexible format. Each month, we will feature a different artistic medium and offer drop-in hours for little artists to come and create. No need to be "on time" or stay for the full session - drop in when you wish and stay as long as you'd like! Crafternoon is open to all ages, but is reccomended for ages 3+.
This experience is available to all Museum guests (Museum admission or membership is required!)
Tickets can be purchased at our front desk.

Sensory Friendly Time is a special program for families with children with sensory processing disorders and other special needs. During these sessions, CMC provides exclusive access to the Museum for families who thrive in a less crowded and lower-stimulation environment.

Guests are encouraged to bring adaptive equipment to support a comfortable visit. CMC has noise-reducing headphones and sensory support kits available at our front desk upon request. There are limited quantities, available on a first-come first-serve basis.
Families visiting during the morning sessions are welcome to stay after general admission opens at 9am. Pre-registration is not required!

- Special hours (outside of general operating hours) offering a quieter and less crowded environment.
- Private Sensory Friendly Room for respite / sensory breaks.
- 8 hands-on exhibits for children to learn through play, explore, and create.
