Drop-In Events, Winter Coat Drive, and More at the CAT
The holiday season is a time for gathering with those you love and sharing with those in need. This December, the CAT Museum is doing just that! In addition to our regular guided tours by reservation only, guests will have two opportunities this month to visit the museum reservation-free. We are also hosting a winter coat drive all month long, and we’ll need your help to make sure kids in our community can stay safe and warm.
Drop-In Events in December
On Friday, December 6th from 5:30 pm–7:30 pm, the CAT will be open for the perfect cozy night out. See our current exhibition, From Origins to Horizons: The American Studio Glass Movement, and head next door to Churchill ST. to purchase a Glass Menagerie, a specialty cocktail inspired by the CAT Museum. This gin martini is flavored with house-made clarified tomato and features a cherry tomato and olive oil garnish. It is a perfect farewell to the warmer weather as we move into winter.
The CAT Museum will also be open to drop-in guests all day on Saturday, December 21st from 10:00 am–4:30 pm. Bring your guests in town for the holidays to see From Origins to Horizons on the last day before it closes.
Winter Coat Drive
The CAT Museum will be collecting youth winter gear all December long on behalf of Project for Pride in Living, a local non-profit that provides affordable housing and career readiness services. When you make your visit to the CAT, bring along coats, snowpants, winter boots, or mittens for children of all ages. New or in-great-condition (no pet hair, stains, or damage) donations only, please.
The CAT Museum is a proud partner of Project for Pride in Living’s LEAP program serving young adults.
Preview of Changes to Come
The drop-in days in December are just a preview of exciting things to come to the CAT in January. Our exhibitions will soon be easier for families, students, and those who work during the week to visit. When our next exhibition Echoes of Life: Paintings from the Collection opens January 24, visitors will be able to drop in every Saturday without making a reservation! Thursdays and Fridays will be business as usual for the CAT, with tours by reservation only at 10 am, 1 pm, and 3 pm. But on Saturdays, you can drop by any time between 10:00 am–4:30 pm. Come when you like, stay as long as you like, and return as often as you like!
