Meet us in Harlem for our third Listening Tour stop—a FREE vibrant, family-centered gathering rooted in art, reflection, and community voice.
Spend time inside one of the nation’s leading institutions dedicated to artists of African descent. There, we’ll explore, create, and engage in meaningful conversation about how cultural spaces can better serve you.
Whether you come often or this is your first time stepping into a space like this, you belong here.
This immersive experience takes place at Studio Museum, the first museum in the United States dedicated entirely to the art and history of posters. Together, we’ll explore how visual storytelling informs, inspires, and mobilizes communities—and how families use their voices to shape the world around them.
Through reflection, conversation, and creativity, families and educators will help shape the future of how cultural spaces connect with communities.
Why This Gathering Matters
Cultural spaces have the power to inspire, educate, and bring communities together—but they are strongest when families help shape them.
This Listening Tour is about hearing directly from families and those who support them.
Whether you share openly, listen deeply, or reflect quietly—your presence and perspective are valued.
Your voice will help guide Cool Culture’s future programming across schools, museums, and communities throughout New York City.
