Family Art Hour: Play in the "Snow"

Stop by for a chance to enjoy a sensory snow experience! We'll start by visiting a few of our favorite snow landscape paintings in the "Masterworks" exhibit (Grandma Moses's "I’ll Mail the Letter," Walter Launt Palmer's " Morning Light," and N.C. Wyeth's" Fox in the Snow") then head down to the classroom to explore two different snow textures; one for molding, and one for painting!

This is a free program that is open to young students and their families. RSVPs and donations are not necessary but are always appreciated, as they help us get a better understanding of the number of supplies to prepare and help cover the cost of materials.

For more information, contact Curator of Education & Public Engagement Jenna Peterson Riley at jriley@arkellmuseum.org or call (518) 673-2314 x 113.

Create & Take: People & Portraits

Who are those people in the paintings on the walls, and what messages are hidden in those paintings? Come meet a few of the characters in the Arkell Museum's portrait paintings, including "Anne," "Moira," "Juan Reyes," "The Player," and even "Bartlett Arkell" himself. Then we'll head on down to the classroom, and everyone will have the chance to create their own portrait!
