While the Biggs Museum galleries are open to all ages free of charge, there are many opportunities for all to enjoy the Museum and art even more for free every month. The Free Three program offers three, free educational programs every month to all.
On the first Friday of every month, the Biggs Museum, along with several other members of the Dover arts community, serve as a venue for downtown Dover’s First Friday program. First Friday is an effort to bring the public downtown the first Friday of every month to enjoy local art venues and activities. The Biggs Museum offers a free, family-friendly program each month. First Friday programs include First Look Party!’s, lectures, curator-led tours, interactive activities, and performances. Pre-registration may or may not be required for the First Friday program. Please see the Calendar of Events or contact the Museum for more information.
Biggs Kids and Mini-Masters are free youth educational programs open to the public and are held in the programs gallery at the Museum. Biggs Kids is held on the first Saturday of every month from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. for children ages 5-10. Mini-Masters is held on the third Wednesday of every month from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. for children ages 3-5. Different art activities are planned each month for children to experience and enjoy art and the Museum. Pre-registration is required for both Mini-Masters and Biggs Kids and can be completed by calling (302) 674-2111 or completing the on-line registration form. Biggs Kids and Mini-Masters are supported by the Delaware Division of the Arts, Wilmington Trust and the Mid-Del Foundation.
Enjoy one or all of the Free Three programs in the upcoming months. In February 2010, our Biggs Kids and Mini-Masters will be creating valentines for someone special to celebrate Valentine’s Day. The fourth and final school display by Ursuline Academy in the Arts Connect-ED exhibition will be celebrated at the February First Friday program. Don’t miss your last chance for free Chick-Fil-A at this First Look pARTy! In March 2010, be the first to see Blue Water/Still Water at the First Friday program. This exhibition features works by members of the American Society of Marine Artists. Biggs Kids and Mini-Masters will participate in a St. Patrick’s Day craft bringing a ‘wee’ leprechaun to life to help search for a pot of gold!
