In tandem with the final day of the exhibition, enjoy free all-day admission and family fun activities on Sunday, June 3, during "First Sundays for Families: Frolic and Paint Party." From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., grab a brush and celebrate the tradition of painting outdoors —en plein air—with demonstrations by members of the Philadelphia Water Color Society, and participate in hands-on art activities.
