Events & Programs

2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Reimagining the classic bedtime story, Matthew-Robin Nye explores how spaces of imagination can transcend categories like child and adult, inviting reflection on how we learn, feel, and connect to artwork across generations.

Through this work, he asks what it means to build environments that are open, attentive, and alive to shared experience—places where visitors can simply be, and where curiosity and presence unfold at their own rhythm.

This is a free program but a ticket is required. Please reserve your free ticket online or call 709-757-8090.
