The Martin Luther King Multi Purpose Center Invites Families to a FREE event at RoCA in conjunction with the Charles White: Influences exhibition.
Saturday, May 21
3:00–5:00pm
Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
This event is in partnership with the Gordon Center for Black Culture and Arts, the CEJJES Institute, and Rockland Center for the Arts (RoCA).
Spend the day with the family making art together with Kanitra Perrault (art teacher at both MLK & RoCA) and learn about Charles White. This fun-filled day will include a gallery tour of the exhibitions, refreshments, as well as wood sculpture and painting art workshops! Socially conscious, politically active, inspirational, Charles White was one of the most important African-American artists working in the twentieth century. Best known for depicting people of color in both heroic and realistic ways, White's portraits reinforced the dignity, humanity and beauty of the black figure.
Also on view: "See, Observe, Think, Reflect, Internalize" Photography by Collette V. Fournier.
This program is free of charge, but registration is required. A shuttle bus will take families from MLK to RoCA at 2:30pm and will depart from RoCA at 5:00pm to return to MLK.
To Register, call (845) 358-0877, or visit www.rocklandartcenter.org.
