Día del Niño (Children’s Day) celebrates the important role of children in society. The United Nations recognizes the importance of creating awareness for the protection of children’s rights and, to that end, holds a day for adults to recognize their role in the protection of this right of children to enjoy a healthy and peaceful life. Most countries around the world have a day in which adults show their love, appreciation, and recognition of children in a national celebration that takes place in homes and schools, but also at community gatherings.
We invite you and your family to fall in love with art and creativity this February at the Denver Art Museum. Make shadow puppets, write love letters, explore the galleries, and more. General admission (which includes all of the following) is free for youth 18 and younger every day.
