On March 3, 2009, the Georgia Museum of Art broke ground on its Phase II expansion and launched GMOA on the Move, a state- and nationwide initiative of offsite programs and exhibitions. Due to construction, the museum offices are currently located in the former visual arts building on Jackson Street on UGA's North Campus. Although the galleries and shop are temporarily closed, special calendar events, including the family events listed below, are still open to the public, and our Web site will feature a Web shop soon. Please visit the museum's virtual galleries in Second Life and view the calendar for a complete listing of GMOA on the Move events.
The Georgia Museum of Art is scheduled to reopen in early 2011.
Family Day programs are sponsored by Heyward Allen Motor Co., Inc., Heyward Allen Toyota, YellowBook USA, and the Friends of the Georgia Museum of Art. Free and open to all families.
