Honor Martin Luther King, Jr. at the Muskegon Museum of Art’s Free Community Day
In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Muskegon Museum of Art is hosting a free community day on Monday, January 19 from 11:00 am – 5:00 pm. The public is invited to explore the galleries with Muskegon High School student junior docents, participate in an MLK Day art project, watch a film screening of “Coldwater Kitchen”, and take an interactive museum tour of African American artists whose work is in the MMA permanent collection.
Muskegon High School’s AP Art class will be docents from Noon – 2:00 pm to talk about artwork from the MMA permanent collection. Each student chose a work of art from the collection to research and present to museum visitors on MLK Day.
The Muskegon Museum of Art is home to many artworks created by African American artists. During MLK Day, there will be an interactive museum tour specifically highlighting works by these artists. Kids can also pick up a fun coloring activity inspired by the highlighted works of art.
