Featured Exhibit: Syd Carpenter: Planting in Place, Time, and Memory https://woodmereartmuseum.org/experience/exhibitions/planting-in-place-time-and-memory
Now through May 24, Woodmere is showcasing Planting in Place, Time, and Memory, a rich retrospective of work by acclaimed ceramic artist Syd Carpenter. Spanning over five decades, Carpenter’s pieces explore deep themes like African American history, land and agriculture, and memory, all through her powerful and expressive ceramic forms. It’s a thoughtful and inspiring exhibition that invites viewers to reflect on identity, place, and creativity.
Saturday Art Classes for Kids https://woodmereartmuseum.org/experience/learn-create/children-and-teen-classes
One of Woodmere’s most delightful offerings is their weekend art classes for children. On Saturdays (and Sundays too!), kids ages 4–12 are invited to explore drawing, painting, and other creative projects in the Children’s Studio; a perfect way to introduce little ones to art in a hands-on, fun environment. These sessions change themes regularly, so there’s always something new to spark your child’s imagination.
