The Studio Museum in Harlem has championed artists of African descent for more than half a century, and every Sunday it opens free with programming for every age. There is a storytime built around children's books by authors and illustrators of African descent, a drop-in art-making table tied to the current shows, and short family gallery tours. If you have been meaning to see the museum's new building, Sunday is the day.
What to expect
You reserve a free ticket, then move between the galleries and the programs: a 30-minute storytime, a weekly drop-in workshop with art materials, family tours with hands-on gallery activities at scheduled times, and 15-minute educator-led tours of the galleries.
