On July 19th, guests cooled off and got creative at the Moody's annual Summer Jam, which featured family-friendly art activities, galleries to explore, an indoor farmer’s market, local food vendors, and more. Co-Presented with Informal Grub, our 2025 event included access to Figurative Histories and Collective Memories as well as programming with The Reading Room. In addition to a scavenger hunt, face painting, and bubble play, Red Bird Press led a hands-on printmaking activity for the duration of the event. 

Guests explored the Moody with family and friends and celebrated their local community. See the schedule and Summer Jam's featured vendors below. This event is not ticketed; $6 parking in West Lot 4 was available for the duration of the event.
