Programs targeting children and youth included Get Smart with Art; Museum Ambassadors; School Mondays; docent-led and self-guided tours; summer art camps; Saturday drop-in workshops; and Advanced Placement art history classes. Programs targeting the general public include Friday Nights at the de Young, a free weekly event designed to enhance both the permanent collections and temporary exhibitions through live music, art-making, lectures, films, and artist demonstrations; scholarly symposia featuring a variety of speakers exploring topics related to FAMSF’s exhibitions and collections; and opening day festivals with free live music, artist demonstrations, art-making, and lectures celebrating new exhibitions.
