Bill Traylor Family Day at the American Folk Art Museum
Sept 21 1–2:30pm
Join museum educators for an interactive, guided tour through the exhibition devoted to self-taught maestro Bill Traylor, focusing on the theme "Bill Traylor's Lexicon: Shape, Silhouette and Symbols." Among the tour givers will be author Don Tate and illustrator R. Gregory Christie, who'll share their children's book It Jes' Happened: When Bill Traylor Started to Draw. After the tour, families will take part in a Traylor-inspired workshop, drawing and stenciling (or writing) a personal story or memory, then mounting their work on a journal they can take home. Reservations are required at folkartmuseum.org. Ages 4 to 12.

RECOMMENDED: More things to do in the fall with kids

Museums in NYC are brimming with amazing new shows for families this fall, which look at everything from birds to the history of poison and modern American masterpieces, but also families-only programming that lets parents and their children explore these shows to their hearts' content—and, quite often, get busy creating themselves. You get to spend time with art, spend time with your kids and watch how creative they can be. We've rounded up all the fall family days at museums in NYC we could and are amazed at what we found: lots of super-fun ways to enjoy museums as a family this fall.
