The San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts invites families to attend Family Day on Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 10 AM to 2 PM at the Education Studio, located in the breezeway at 1 Love Street in downtown San Angelo.

This month's Family Day theme is Spooky and Soulful Sounds! Families will explore the eerie, mysterious, and emotional side of art and sound. Activities include sound sculptures, shadow art, haunted storytelling, monster mask-making, rhythm stations, and experimental instruments. Also, experience a visit from a bat biologist and The Zoodio to learn about how spooky animals like bats, rats, and spiders use sound. Visitors are encouraged to stop by the Concho Clay Studio throughout the event for free drop-in clay activities. No registration is required.

In addition to art activities, guests can browse a free children's book giveaway in SAMFA's Grand Hall. The books are generously provided by the San Angelo Adult Literacy Council and anonymous donors.

Family Day is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be available while supplies last. Activities are subject to change, and additional surprise activities may be offered throughout the day.

The San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums. The museum is supported by generous contributions from both individuals and businesses. This project is made possible in part by the Sterling-Turner Foundation, the Mary Ellen Kent Bunyard Foundation, HEB, and Texas Commission on the Arts.
