New Exhibit Debuting at LI Children's Museum

A new exhibit will be featured at the Garden City-based Long Island Children's Museum later this week.

Enter the framework of famous paintings, arrange works of art into your own art gallery, create a chalk wall mural, and experience art like never before in Framed: Step into Art.

Kids and adults can uncover their artistic side through a number of creative activities, including:

• Explore Grant Wood's Dinner for Threshers first hand and sit down for some home cooking before heading to the barn to check on the farm animals.
• Travel back to the Canadian Rockies in 1916 and discover camping gear like John Singer Sargent would have used.
• Ride Clementine Hunter's Big Chicken and help complete Diego Rivera's mural Corn Festival.
• View original and famous parodies of Mona Lisa; create your own version of Mona Lisa's enigmatic expression.
• Be the artist by creating your own wall mural with chalk and create your own gallery by arranging works of art in frames.
• Embark on an "art hunt" and record your responses to the art at a talk back computer station.

The exhibit opens Thursday, June 14 from 6–8 p.m. Members can make their reservation for the Exhibit Preview by calling the Members Only Hotline at (516) 224-5827 or by e-mail to memberevents@licm.org.
