Need to get out of the house during Winter Break? Head on over to the Arkell Museum and try your hand at working with watercolors! We'll start by visiting a few of our favorite watercolor paintings in the "Masterworks: Works on Paper" exhibit, including pieces by Winslow Homer, Charles Burchfield, and Reginald Marsh, then head down to the classroom to explore three different watercolor techniques!

This is a free program that is open to students of all ages. 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.

Come test your engineering and design skills (and your self-control!) and make your best graham cracker house! Families are encouraged to bring one item to share to decorate their house. Graham crackers and building materials will be provided.

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.

We all want to give back to our communities during the holiday season, and #GivingTuesday is a great way to do just that! This Tuesday, 11/28, help give back by becoming a member of the Arkell Museum. Our goal is to recruit 25 new members in one day, and you can make it happen!

Our annual memberships support the exhibitions and programs of the Arkell Museum and Canajoharie Library. All members enjoy unlimited free admission to the Arkell Museum and a 10% discount to the Museum Shop. Plus, the Arkell Museum is a member of the Empire State Museums Reciprocal Program; our members receive free admission to any other participating museums and a 10% discount to most of their gift shops as well.

For each NEW membership purchased on #GivingTuesday, you will receive one additional free membership at the same level. This can be given to a family member or friend, or, if everyone you know is already an Arkell Museum member (we hope!) you are welcome to donate that back to us and we will make sure it is given to a family who can use it here in our community.

Individual Membership - $40
Dual Membership - $70
Family Membership - $85
