Our daytime programming takes several forms:

• Matinée Movies: Every first and third Monday, we present a classic film, including those from the Janus collection. Light refreshments, the screening, and a discussion after.
• Our Day Trips allow you to visit organizations that share Real Art Ways' sensibility with members of our staff.
