Kid Fun in Grown-Up Museums

Art museums are smart. They know that in terms of creativity and imagination, kids have a lot in common with the artists featured on their walls. To acclimate kids to new ways of looking and discussing what they see, grown-up museums are tailoring programs to young people and their families. It's a great way to groom future museum-goers and artists.

Bedford-Stuyvesant's Center for Art and Culture showcases artwork by a diverse roster of people of color. Housed in a former milk-bottling plant, the center's large exhibition space is a work of art in itself. Designed by renowned architect I. M. Pei, the space rises 40 feet to an elaborate skylight. Individual and group shows, often addressing the politics and culture of Africa and Asia, rotate through this gallery. Community members are drawn to the center's extensive Saturday workshop series. The Center for Art and Culture is funded by the Bedford-Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation.

Teachers & Writers Collaborative's programs help children write, expanding their experiences with literature.
