Residents Can Enjoy a Range of Free Exhibitions and Events
Virtually Promoted by the Middlesex County Arts Institute
WHAT: The Arts Institute of Middlesex County is presenting, promoting, and supporting a multitude of arts and culture events, exhibitions, and shows throughout the month of May. The month is packed with exciting programming primarily centered around History Month. While the pandemic has affected in-person events, artists all over the County and the Middlesex County Arts Institute have come together to find creative ways of connecting residents through public art, virtual experiences, and safe performances. The County’s Arts Institute has helped partners navigate this new environment with engaging and thought-provoking experiences. These events can be accessed virtually every Wednesday at 4 pm and are free to enjoy for all County residents and beyond.
May’s event highlights include:
•May 19 @ 4 pm – Join the Civic League of Greater New Brunswick in a reading of Fry Bread: A Native American Family Story written by Kevin Noble Maillard and illustrated by Juana Martinez-Neal. After our reading, we will be joined by the Arts Institute’s own Sally Van de Water as she leads us in a discussion about the ways we can share our cultural and family histories through food!
•May 26 @ 4 pm – Explore the incredible life and service of local hero Paul Robeson in a reading of Grandpa Stops a War: A Paul Robeson Story written by Susan Robeson and illustrated by Rod Brown.
