Kick back with a day of free, family-friendly festivities—done like only the Momentary can do.

From fun pop-ups and games to tours and book signings, we’re filling the campus with creative celebrations for everyone in honor of our new exhibition, Best in Show: Pets in Contemporary Photography.

Bring the family and enjoy a fun day filled with artmaking and games in the Arvest Bank Courtyard, or check out the pop-up activities with Best Friends Animal Society. Start the day with a special treat-making workshop for the pup in your life, learn more about adopting or fostering a fur baby of your own, then head into the galleries for a guided tour of the exhibition.

Night owls, you’re not forgotten—we’ve planned an after-hours dance party to help you round out the evening from 8 to 11 p.m.

See you there.

Free, no tickets required. Drop by anytime.
