As part of its commitment to inspiring parents and caring adults to nurture a child's love of learning, Target is partnering with more than 80 cultural and art institutions in 30 cities throughout the country to launch the Target Arts & Wonder Free Family Event. From July 16 to 18, 2010, museums, galleries and other institutions from coast to coast will offer friends and families the opportunity to explore and learn about art together in an engaging and playful atmosphere – for free.
