Creative Learning Center

The reimagined Creative Learning Center is a vibrant, highly active space designed for hands-on imaginative play and creative exploration for guests of all ages. The 4,500 square-foot Creative Learning Center offers a new way to experience GRAM, where guests can invent, experiment, and explore in a space that invites everyone in our community to make their mark at the Museum. The expansion brings several brand-new upgrades and enhancements to the arts education facilities at GRAM, including:

  • A 1,036 square-foot interactive Discovery Gallery open during all museum hours
  • Two new GRAM Studio workshop classrooms
  • A relocated and reimagined entry space accessible from the Museum lobby
  • An expanded orientation area and meeting space from school groups, tours, and group meetings
  • Accessibility and navigation improvements
  • A new volunteer lounge
