Take part in the museum’s annual celebration of African American artists, performers and writers with story time, crafts and a public read-aloud. Educator Amy Stuart will lead a sing/play along with traditional instruments and history songs/games. Crafting activities include guitar decorating in honor of the current Freeman Vines “Hanging Tree Guitars” exhibit, and Basquit inspired self-portraits led by the Teen Arts Council! Attendees are then invited to join the reading circle and share their favorite works by African American artists and authors, either using their own material or borrowing from the on-site African American Literary Library.
