Family Discovery Gallery
The Family Discovery Gallery is an interactive center for children and their families. With over a dozen "hands on" exhibits, the Family Discovery Gallery introduces and explores the Paine's exceptional combination of architecture, gardens and art. The Paine's gallery has three learning areas called Discover the House, Discover Gardens, and Discover Art, as well as a central activity area for changing projects and workshops that encourage children to look, touch, experiment and create in new and fun ways.
The activities in the Family Discovery Gallery are free with admission to the Paine (free for members and Big Brothers Big Sisters participants).
Family Programs
A new schedule of fun and creative Family Programs is offered every Saturday in the Family Discovery Gallery. In coordination with local artists, community members, teachers and University of Wisconsin Oshkosh students, the Paine’s Family Programs encourage children to learn about art, architecture and horticulture in new ways.
Family Programs are offered on Saturdays in the Family Discovery Gallery on a drop-in basis from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. The programs are geared for children ages 5-12. Children must be accompanied by an adult. No pre-registration is required. Programs are free with admission to the Paine (free for Paine Members and Big Brothers Big Sisters participants).

DANGLING DAZZLE
with Jessica Kelly-Paul
Looking up in our main gallery at the chandelier created by artist Dale Chihuly can just about take your breath away! Jessica Kelly-Paul doesn’t have any glass waiting for you to turn into a sculpture today, but she does have lots of ordinary art supplies in vibrant colors. You might surprise yourself at what you can create by twisting and curling and arranging common materials into a hanging work of art.

MY SUMMER PROJECT
with Danielle Lokken
We see beautiful flowers in gardens all around Oshkosh during the summer months. Of course, some gardens are huge, while others are a small pretty patch near a front door. Meet Danielle Lokken at our Shade Garden field station today and she will provide everything you need for your own container garden.
