About Family Arts Passport
Family Arts Passport is a new program from Wyoming Fine Arts Center that helps families navigate Cincinnati's major arts institutions together. This year, we're taking four trips:
La Bohème at CCM – October 31
The Art of Charley Harper at the Cincinnati Art Museum – January 24
CINCINNATI KING at Playhouse in the Park – February 27
A baseball-themed Family Concert with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra – April 3
Each trip has three parts. Before the event, we'll learn about what we're going to see and meet some of the people who make it. Then we'll experience it together. Afterward, we'll talk about what stood out and make art in response, led by teaching artists Sergio Aguillón-Mata and Annie Ruth.
We take care of the details. Every trip includes bus transportation from WFAC, tickets, and a meal.
Requesting support
If cost is a barrier for your family, we'll cover it, including childcare if you need it. Email passport@musicartdance.org with your name, which trip or trips you'd like to join, how many people are coming, and whether you need childcare. You don't need to explain your situation or send any paperwork. We'll hold your spots and reply within [two business days].
Each trip is limited to 40 people.
Sunday, January 24, 2027 · 9:30 AM – 2:30 PM
Charley Harper spent his career in Cincinnati, painting birds, bugs, and animals with bold shapes and bright color. He worked from his home studio in Finneytown, just a few miles from WFAC. His wife and fellow artist, Edie Harper, graduated from Wyoming High School. The Art of Charley Harper: Creatures Wild and Tame brings together work about wildlife and the natural world. It's a great exhibition for all ages, including young kids.
We'll split into two groups. One group takes a guided tour with a museum docent while the other explores on its own, then we switch. After the tours, we'll have lunch and make art together in a museum classroom.
