"We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men."

-Martin Luther King Jr.

MLK Day is a time for us to celebrate our continual commitment to community and connections. Join us this year to honor the Assemblage Art of Betye Saar. Participants will build a reliquary to help tell their own story. By collecting found objects from the museum's vast collection, campers will curate their personalized collages.

Each camper will contribute to a Little Free Library that will live on the Museum campus for all to share.

We hope you will all visit this Community Project and hopefully bring a book and take one!

“I am intrigued with combining the remnant of memories, fragments of relics and ordinary objects, with the components of technology.”

- Betye Saar
