Community Day
Saturday, April 4 – 12pm until 3pm
This popular event for local families and their younger learners returns!

Students will take a trip around the world with the help of Oberlin College student docents. Docents will show kids works depicting Italy, France, Egypt, Japan, China, and more, then help them create their own watercolor postcards depicting their journey! When they "return" to Oberlin, they can join arts educator James Peake in the AMAM rose garden to create origami flowers to decorate the garden and mark the arrival of spring! Also, staff and docents will read books on the theme of travel, and there will be a free book giveaway from the Oberlin College America Reads program.

Please contact the AMAM Education Department for more details.
