LRG KIDS
We believe that art can inspire the youngest to the biggest kid. That’s why we’ve created a dedicated immersive art-play space right here at LRG! The Lane is a great space to explore and play, and we design the space with the themes of our exhibition program in mind.
YOU can become an LRG Kid!
Did you know we also offer a special membership just for kids?
It’s $10 for a whole year and kids get access to some kids-only special events and exhibition tours PLUS discounts at the LRG Shop and much more.
Start their journey as lifelong art aficionados!
