Families can enjoy trick-or-treating in costume throughout the Museum of Art’s Courtyard, while guides offer tours throughout the Museum of Art’s galleries for a special spooky-themed “seek and find.” Art-making opportunities will be offered and the Historic Asolo Theater will host vintage Halloween short films. The event is free, but registration is required. Click here to learn more.
