L’Alliance New York continues its Family Saturday series with multidisciplinary arts programming that engages young people and their families through visual art, storytelling, and Francophone cinema. The immersive program—designed to be a hands-on cultural experience for children and families while reinforcing L’Alliance New York’s mission of making French and Francophone arts, culture, and language accessible to all—features visual arts workshops, story time in French, live theater performances, and film screenings.
Activities are available for a range of ages and interests, offering a child-friendly perspective of the visual and performing arts presented for all audiences. Through events that engage with extraordinary cultural programming, children have the rare opportunity to have fun and connect with the diversity of the arts from around the French-speaking world.
