Grand Sundays
April 19, May 17, and June 21 at 2 pm
Join Spertus staff on the third Sunday of every month for special activities for grandparents and their wonderful grandkids. Tour the Open Depot, explore the Gray Children’s Center, and create masterpieces in the Arts Workshop.
Grandparents are encouraged to bring a small personal or historical keepsake with them and be ready to share the story behind the object during the program.
Best for ages 5+ with a grandparent, but all ages welcome. No advance reservations needed. Free with museum admission.
Spertus programs for Chicago Public School students and teachers are made possible in part by a generous grant from the Polk Bros. Foundation.
Additional support for these programs is provided by the Charles & M.R. Shapiro Foundation, Inc. and the Walter & Caroline Sueske Charitable Trust.
