Get ready for a day of furry friends and fall festivities! Join us at Mobile Museum of Art for our “Pups and Pumpkins” Family Day, a perfect celebration of art, animals, and autumn treats.

Get creative by registering to paint a portrait of your pet with artist Lucy Gafford for a low-cost family class from 10:00-12:00, or try your hand at glassblowing to create a beautiful pumpkin with Muffinjaw Designs.

Enjoy a cozy hot cocoa and s’mores bar while you meet adorable pups from local shelters hoping to find their forever families.

IF YOU REGISTER TO MAKE A PUMPKIN, KEEP IN MIND:

• Pumpkins are $65 a piece.
• Bookings will be made in 15-minute slots. Once those are full, we will not be able to add any other times, so we recommend registering sooner rather than later.
• Only one glass pumpkin can be made in a 15-minute slot. Therefore, if you have more than one member in your party and would like to make more than one pumpkin, you must book a slot for each person in your party who will be making a pumpkin.
• Please arrive early for your appointment. Due to the number of participants, we will not be able to hold your time slot if you arrive after the start of your reservation.
• After your piece is finished, it takes an hour for the glass to anneal and cool off enough to take home. We invite everyone to participate in the other spooky activities, watch others blow their glass pieces, and enjoy the Museum for the rest of the event.
• If you cannot stay to pick up your piece, please speak with one of the Museum team members during the event to arrange a later pick-up.
• MMofA will not be able to provide refunds for cancellations prior to the event and/or for no-shows.

Registration for glassblowing opens October 4, 2025. Want to be the first to know? Join our mailing list today >>
