Join us on Saturday, September 23 for Museum Day Live! Over 1,000 museums across the United States are participating in the 13th Annual initiative recognizing the extraordinary power of museums and other cultural institutions to provide visitors with insight and inspiration.

On September 23rd, the Arkell will explore the connections between art and weather, and the wonderful ways in which artists like Winslow Homer, Albert Bierstadt, Grandma Moses, and more played with the wind, the sun, snow, and more in the art. Hands-on art activities for visitors of all ages will be available in our classroom!

Tickets are available to download at http://www.smithsonianmag.com/museumday, and the Arkell Museum will accept both printed or digital versions.

The Masterworks Preview Party is a free event for Arkell Museum Members. Enjoy delicious food and refreshments, live gypsy-jazz music by the CC Vagabonds (returning to the Museum for another great performance), and an exclusive first look at rarely exhibited masterpieces of the Arkell Museum’s collection on exhibit in Masterworks and Masterworks on Paper. Works by Cassatt, Homer, O’Keeffe, Grandma Moses, Whistler, and more will be divided between two galleries.
