Visit the New Family Activity Center!

We are excited to announce the opening of a newly refurbished Family Activity Center at the Figge! The popular and well-used family space will be getting a face-lift this fall. Education staff has been working through ideas and plans for the past year to reimagine the space. Visitors have played an important role as staff has interviewed guests and gathered survey data to assess the needs of the center. The museum’s Education Committee, a mix of staff, board members, docents and local teachers, has reviewed the results and provided feedback as well. We can’t wait to share it with you!

In preparation for this update, the Family Activity Center will be closed to the public from Monday, September 17 through Friday, October 5. We will open to the public with a flourish on Saturday, October 6. In the meantime, thank you for your patience!

The Figge Art Museum has been working hard to expand existing partnerships and create new ones, all in support of diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion. Below are just a few highlights from the past year.

Juvenile Detention Center Since 2011, the Figge has been partnering with the Scott County Juvenile Detention Center (SCJDC) to deliver free arts outreach opportunities to its students, and this year piloted a week-long intensive art experience with great success. For five days, Figge Outreach and Interpretation Coordinator Brian Allen and local artist Sarah Robb have worked directly with juveniles to envision, develop and create a largescale mural about hope and overcoming obstacles. The mural will become a permanent fixture at the Students at the Scott County Juvenile Detention Center SCJDC, as a message from current juveniles to those who are detained in the future.
