The weekend caps off with “A Very Merry Morris!” from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.
Admission is free on Sundays at the Morris Museum of Art. On the first Sunday of each month, the museum holds special children’s programming which includes an arts and craft activity.
The Halloween program drew 300 people, according to Nicole McLeod, the museum’s marketing and public relations manager. She’s hoping for large attendance at this one as well.
Special activities include making pop-up cards, 3D-printed holiday sculptures and a mini-painting ornament.
A glass harp performer will play music.
Also, shop for holiday gift items at the museum’s store with free giftwrapping.
