Join us for a joyful Family Friday at MAP St. Louis on January 9 from 4–6 PM—an afternoon filled with creativity, connection, and community fun for all ages.
Families are invited to explore hands-on art activities for kids, enjoy tasty snacks, and experience the excitement of live reptile shows with Hayden’s Herpetarium—a favorite for curious minds and brave hearts alike.
We’re also thrilled to debut the pop-up MAP Roasters coffee shop, serving up warm drinks to keep you cozy as you explore.
During the event, MAP Gallery 3840 will proudly open the student exhibition
“Inspirations Through the Generations.”
This meaningful show features student artwork displayed alongside work by someone who has inspired them—parents, grandparents, mentors, and more—creating powerful visual conversations across generations. It’s a heartfelt celebration of creativity, influence, and shared stories.
Whether you come for the art, the animals, the coffee, or the community, this is an impactful evening you won’t want to miss.
