June 26 Sunday 1-4pm Story Jam and Bebop - Have a jazzy experience at Fowler's Kids in the Courtyard event

We consider Fowler Museum to be our home museum and the staff here have seen my children grow from toddlers in their strollers to 8 and 9 year olds.   We love the art projects here and they are so well crafted to connect with the exhibits featured.   We have made kimchi here in decorated containers and made "glow-in-the-dark" paintings as well as many masks and even a costume or two for Mardi Gras in the past.

This Sunday should be an amazing multi-sensory experience indeed with story telling, music, and arts and crafts!

Kids in the Courtyard: Story Jam and Bebop!

Stop by the Lucas Gallery at 1:30 pm and 3:30 pm to hear the story Ragtime Tumpie by Allan Schroader, a jazz-infused tale about the childhood of entertainer Josephine Baker. Before and after each performance, join museum educators in the courtyard to learn how to scat and jive talk, paint a pair of rhythm sticks, or make "jazz hands on a stick" out of recycled sheet music.
