Family Day: Fun Fur All! 

  • Sunday, July 12

  • Georgia O'Keeffe Museum | 217 JOHNSON STREET, SANTA FE, NM

Join us for a fur-tastic Family Day in honor of Georgia O'Keeffe's bestest friends, Bo & Chia!

Bo and Chia were Georgia O’Keeffe’s first Chow Chow puppies, given to her for Christmas in 1953. She loved Bo and Chia very much, and fondly referred to them as her “little people.” Join us to honor O’Keeffe’s furry friends with special guest Espanola Humane Society! During this very special Family Day, you can take part in art or creative activities, join a story time, or even take home your very own furry friend. 

Activities: 

10 AM–2 PM: Espanola Humane Adoption Event 

10 AM–2 PM: Decorate Your Own Bandana with Georgia O’Keeffe Museum

11 AM–12 PM: Story Time in the Galleries with Santa Fe Public Library

11 AM–1 PM: Creative Activities with Santa Fe Children’s Museum

Please note: Furry friends, with the exception of service animals, cannot enter the Museum gallery space.
