Meet the Artists Day: Featuring Courtney Lebow, 2026 Creative-in-Residence

Come celebrate the unveiling of a colorful new mural created by this year's Creative-in-Residence, Courtney Lebow. Over several months, Courtney worked alongside children and families to design "Light That Reflects on My Crown"—a vibrant wall filled with swirling colors, crowns, and sparkles. The mural carries a meaningful message: every child is worthy, radiant, and deserving of recognition. Through repeated yet unique crown designs, the artwork honors each child's individuality while building a sense of shared value and belonging. The celebration runs from 1 to 3 pm and kicks off with a welcome and a chance to hear directly from Courtney about her inspiration and creative journey. After that, you and your family can explore the museum while local artists lead hands-on activities—try your hand at bracelet making, sock puppet creation, wand decorating, picture frame art, and more. All activities and the mural reveal are included with regular museum admission, making this a perfect afternoon for families who love creativity and artistic expression.
