Arty Pants programs, presented on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month, feature art projects, films, gallery activities, and story readings. Meet other families for a treat at the Gallery 8 Café. The Arty Pants programs in March and April, which focus on the architecture and design of the suburbs, are presented from 11 am–1 pm Tuesdays, March 11 and 25, and April 8 and 22. Activities are free with gallery admission; Walker members and children ages 12 and under always receive free admission.

In March and April, toddlers navigate suburban architecture, landscape design, and much more. Inspired by the exhibition Worlds Away: New Suburban Landscapes, participants work with guest artists to create installations, watch films, and listen to stories that look at life outside the city.
