Free Family Art Night in Ormond Beach
A Monthly FREE Art Activity for Kids & Families
Looking for free things to do with kids in Ormond Beach? Join us at the Ormond Memorial Art Museum & Gardens (OMAM) for Free Family Art Night, a monthly drop-in program where children and adults create a fun hands-on art project together in a welcoming museum setting.
Held on the first Friday of most months, this free community program is perfect for families, grandparents, homeschool groups, visitors, and anyone who enjoys getting creative. Every month features a new project inspired by nature, the seasons, current exhibitions, or exciting artistic techniques.
Free Family Art Night often coordinates with the Casements and City of Ormond Beach's free outdoor movie at nearby Rockefeller Gardens, making it easy to enjoy an entire evening of family fun.

Why Families Love Free Family Art Night
Creating art together is a wonderful way to build memories, encourage creativity, and spend quality time as a family. Our projects are designed to be enjoyable for all ages while introducing participants to new artistic ideas and techniques.
Whether you're painting, drawing, collaging, or experimenting with mixed media, every Free Family Art Night offers something new to discover. Families often tell us that they enjoy trying projects they might never attempt at home, especially with friendly guidance from our educators and all supplies provided.
In today's busy world, Free Family Art Night offers a chance to slow down and enjoy meaningful, screen-free time together. Parents, grandparents, and children work side by side, sharing ideas, encouraging one another, and creating artwork they'll be proud to take home. It's an opportunity to connect through creativity and make lasting memories.
Many families also appreciate introducing their children to an art museum in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Young artists gain confidence as they explore new materials, experiment with different techniques, and discover that there is no "right" or "wrong" way to create. Every project celebrates imagination, curiosity, and self-expression.
