SAINT LOUIS, MO.- The Saint Louis Art Museum announces Family Sundays: Artists Have Feelings Too, a program of art projects and tours for families each Sunday in January from 1:00 to 4:00 pm.

Artist often communicate feelings through their paintings, sculptures, and other artworks. Each Sunday in January, pick up a scavenger hunt and seek out art that shows emotions. Then join the Family Sundays program in Sculpture Hall to make your own mood-filled masterpiece.

On Sunday, January 25, 2009 "Sis Boom Bah," a group of artists and musicians, will play inspirational mood music during the Family Sundays program. Other art projects for the month will explore various moods through music. Museum staff plan to experiment with playing different types of music then ask the children to create a work of art and see how the music affected their mood.

Each Sunday at 2:30 pm, a lively 30-minute tour will guide families through the Museum's collection and highlight pieces that inspired the art projects. The Museum's Family Sundays are supported by Macy's.
