108 Monkeys invites all bodies, ages, and abilities to move and breathe together in the Ely Center’s charming backyard.
Though always open to all, on this day the exhibit extends an especially friendly welcome to young visitors, offering an interactive scavenger hunt to lead eager explorers through the gallery, prompting questions to deepen young viewers’ engagement with the artwork, and design-your-own-flag coloring pages. Plus, we’ll feature all-ages special events!
