    Movies at the Museum:
    The Kid (1921) With Special Live Performance by Marc Ribot

    In this special performance, Marc Ribot presents a live guitar score to the classic silent film, The Kid, contemporizing this classic Chaplin film to a story relevant to the economic and social conditions of today. Ribot, who Rolling Stone describes as “emotive, graceful, but with a glint of mischief in his method,” has released over twenty albums and performed with Robert Plant, Alison Krauss, Elvis Costello, and more.

    Fourth of July Parade: A Work in Progress
    Summer Workshop (Ages 9–11):
    July 3–7 | 9 AM–3 PM

    Progress takes an unexpected path in this wacky Workshop. We will start the Workshop exploring performance art and creating giveaway artworks that form a float to be marched down Main Street during the Old Fashioned Fourth of July Parade. Over the course of the rest of the week, we will create personal artworks in a variety of media to share with others. (Note: class on July 4 ends after parade.)
