Black History Month Celebration at Habitot

Even though they might be too young to fully comprehend the significance of Black History Month, it's never too early to introduce little ones to the contributions of African American artists, scientists and thinkers. And at Habitot Children's Museum's Black History Month Celebration, parents can acquaint their pre-schoolers with a few of these historical figures in a day of fun and hands-on activities.

Habitot's mission is to spark curiosity and creativity, especially in children from infant to 6 years old. Founder and executive director Gina Moreland explains that to that end, aspiring young artists can get hands-on with open-ended art activities. In its art studio, the museum will have materials available for kids to make collage-style artwork in the hallmark style of Romare Bearden, a leader in the Harlem Renaissance. The works won't be as expansive as the epic murals for which Bearden was known, but they'll be personal projects the kids can take home with them.
