    The Rockwell believes that museums act as community centers – a place for safe and authentic arts experiences for all audiences. That’s why we’re proud to once again partner with the Southeast Steuben County Library for Art Explorers’ Story Hour.

    This month: African Tales

    Children’s Librarian Sue McConnell will read The Animals Share from A Ring of Tricksters Animal Tales from North America, the West Indies and Africa by Virginia Hamilton. Then, explore and socialize with NEW Art Hunts and gallery activities for youth, created special each month in connection with the book theme. 

    Attendees are invited to explore the galleries after Story Hour for free, including a visit to the hands-on Family Exploration Studio at no charge.
