Do you know someone who has been meaning to visit The Loeb but hasn’t made it happen yet? Or someone who thinks art isn’t for them, and you’d like to convince them otherwise? Please join us for our third annual Bring a Friend Day, and enjoy the museum and special activities—together. The day’s offerings include art-making, engaging mini-tours, and light refreshments.
