Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling: A year-round cultural institution open to all, the Museum offers a variety of participatory programs for children and families. The Sugar Hill Children’s Museum is the cultural capstone of the Sugar Hill Project,the newest development of Broadway Housing Communities. It was built to leverage the synergies of housing, education and art to improve outcomes for underserved children, adults and entire communities.
Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling will hosts a dual exhibition opening weekend for two contemporary artists – Shani Peters and David Shrobe:
The Crown Futures: Shani Peters in collaboration with Sugar Hill Youth.A multimedia art work and public engagement project directed by artist Shani Peters. The Crown Futures celebrates concepts of self-determination through explorations of traditional headdresses from African, indigenous American, and Western cultures. This site-specific installation was created for the Salon Gallery by Shani in collaboration with local youth, ages 11 to 13, in a special after-school program at the Museum.
On exhibit from July 16 to December 31, 2016.
