About this Event

What does home mean to you? Join us for a day honoring artist Amina Robinson and reflecting on her life and art that often revolved around the theme of home. Try making your own hogmawg, a clay-like mixture she made to create her sculptures, or enjoy a story reading of one of her books. Bask in the harmonies of vocalist Lynda Starr & her band during a live jam session while journeying back to your youth with an option to partake in a Double Dutch performance. It’s a day to celebrate community, artistic expression, and our newest special exhibition, Aminah Robinson: Journeys Home, A Visual Memoir.

Timeline to be announced.

Stop by the Reading Partners table for activations throughout the day.

Community Day is supported by The Horizon Foundation for New Jersey and TD Charitable Foundation.

This Exhibition is organized by the Columbus Museum of Art.

Generous Support provided by Art Bridges.
