Through unique hands-on activities, storybook reading, gallery visits, and more, VMFA’s youngest artists — from toddlers to preschoolers — embrace a world of art, culture, and imagination. My First Art Camp, Young @ Art, Tots of Art, and Artsy Infants are designed with Virginia’s Foundation Blocks for Early Learning in mind to foster cognitive and motor development, creative growth, and self-expression.
