NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale presents Sensory Saturday, a new sensory-friendly program FREE for children on the Autism Spectrum ages 6-17 and their families.

Experience NSU Art Museum on September 14 from 9:30 – 10:30 am, before regular museum hours for a sensory-friendly environment and exclusive free museum access. Join us in making art in workspaces and wandering through galleries that have been adjusted for low lighting and reduced sound. Sensory-friendly materials will be available for all visiting children on the spectrum, including noise-canceling headphones, weighted lap pads, soft seating, sensory-friendly art materials and a special gift for each child.

Sensory Saturdays are held on the second Saturday of September, November, January and March. Registration opens one month prior to each date.

Admission to Sensory Saturday is FREE with a required RSVP. Space is limited.

Registration closes at 5 pm the Friday before each event. Registered families are requested to alert the museum of cancellations in advance. Please only register your own family. If you or someone you know needs assistance registering please call 954-262-0204 or email education1@nova.edu
