The SFMOMA has an impressive art collection, with beautiful permanent galleries and temporary exhibits that feature major artworks and collections. The museum also boasts 45,000 square feet of free exhibition space and regularly hosts educational community programs.
SFMOMA recently announced it would host weekly art-making workshops in partnership with the nonprofit SCRAP. The Sunday workshops will be free and open to the public, and will each have a unique theme. SCRAP will run the workshops with educators and artists leading the event. The nonprofit will also provide materials for the public, so there is no need to bring your own.
There will be workshops every Sunday throughout the spring, although on the first and third Sundays the workshops will be open to all ages, while the second and fourth Sundays’ workshops will be oriented towards families with children three and older. The workshops are open on a drop-in basis, so there is no need to reserve a ticket in advance.
Check out the schedule here:
- Sunday, February 15, 11 a.m.–2 p.m. MAKE! with SCRAP: Alejandro Cartagena
- Sunday, February 22, 10 a.m.–1 p.m. Family Studio: Think BIG!
- Sunday, March 1, 11 a.m.–2 p.m. MAKE! with SCRAP: Watercolor Muslins

The workshops are located in the Koret Education Center on Floor 2, and no museum ticket is required. If you would like to explore the museum after the workshop, you can purchase an admission ticket online or in person. SFMOMA also offers free admission for residents on the first Thursday of each month.
SFMOMA is currently exhibiting KAWS: FAMILY, a pop culture exhibition exploring the work of artist KAWS. You can also see works from Suzanne Jackson, Alexander Calder, and Sheila Hicks on view, along with the museum’s many permanent collections.
