Additionally, Tang Museum educators offer Crafts on the Grass: art-making kits for kids starting at 5:30 pm before each concert. A different kit with a craft project will be available each week. Distribution of materials is on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Upbeat concert series originally took place on the museum’s roof. Because the event garnered such great popularity, they moved onto the lawn. Visitors can bring blankets, camping chairs, food, and drink to picnic on the lawn.

The Tang galleries are open before and after the concerts and in the case of inclement weather, crafts and concerts are held inside the museum.
