Family Day: Luck of the Irish!
Join us on Saturday, April 12 in the Bellarmine Hall, Museum Classroom for a Family Day inspired by the artwork on view in our exhibition An Gorta Mór! Learn more about the exhibition here! The first session will begin promptly at 12:30 p.m. and the second at 2:30 p.m.
During this Family Day event, kids ages 4-10 will get to create St. Brigid's crosses - an Irish tradition of a woven cross that is hung over a doorway to evoke St. Brigid's blessings and mark the beginning of Spring!
Please note : participants can only sign up for one session. If you cannot attend Family Day, we request that you cancel your reservation either through Eventbrite or by emailing museum@fairfield.edu. Frequent no-shows will result in the inability to register for additional Family Day programs. Thank you!
