In celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the Bruce Museum is hosting Community Curation Family Day. Recommended for families with children under 10 years old, this special school-holiday program will feature art projects and live performances that help put in perspective Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy and teachings.
Visitors can create a piece of artwork inspired by Dr. King’s values of compassion, love, courage, forgiveness, and community and hang it on the Museum’s. Children can also contribute to a community sculpture by using paper of different types, shapes, sizes, and colors and then weaving yarn through a yarn wall to show the different ways that we are all connected.
At 11 am and 1 pm, singer/songwriter Cyd Slotoroff from Arts for Learning Connecticut will lead an interactive performance for children to listen, move, sing, and co-create songs about friendship, fairness, problem solving, and respecting others. Seating is limited; please arrive early to ensure a space for your children.
Families are encouraged to give back on MLK Day by contributing a canned food item to our community food drive with Neighbor to Neighbor, a non-profit organization dedicated to serving residents in need throughout the Greenwich area. Staples like oatmeal, canned fruit, and dried beans are most needed.
