Enjoy games, crafts, family time in the galleries, and kid-friendly books and films presented by local artists Keturah A. Bobo, Claudia Owusu, and Ife Oluwamuyide.

This informal, free family-friendly event includes studio activities, exploration of our galleries, and a reading of A Boy and His Mirror, followed by a signing by the book’s illustrator, local artist Keturah A. Bobo. We’ll also screen Ampe: Leap into the Sky, Black Girl—a new, family-friendly short film by Claudia Owusu and Ife Oluwamuyide. Everyone is welcome to meet the artists and ask them questions. Weather permitting, we’ll go outside afterward to play games, including the Ghanaian game Ampe!
