Spring into the West without ever leaving the River Walk at the Briscoe Western Art Museum!

Lasso some Western fun this spring. With the museum's location in the heart of the River Walk, it's a great stop for families exploring downtown - and anyone enjoying the St. Patrick's Day parades and festivities March 15-16.

Each day features different art and craft activities, while adults can get in on the fun with an evening painting session served with a side of margaritas.

The daily come-and-go family programs celebrate the heritage and culture of the American West, including the four pillars of the West: wildlife, Native American heritage, cowboys and vaqueros, and the Tejano pillar, recognizing the influence of Mexican and Spanish heritage. Each pillar will be brought to life in arts and crafts during the Spring Break Roundup.

Different activities will be available each day, bringing the West to life in a variety of hands-on ways.

Spring Break Roundup is included with museum admission, with no charge for craft supplies and no reservations required.
