Check out the newest StoryWalk® in Michiana! We’ve partnered with the St. Joseph County Public Library to bring this exciting national project to the Charles B. Hayes Family Sculpture Park from July 1–September 2. StoryWalk® combines experiencing nature with reading together as a family. Our StoryWalk® will explore the book What’s New Daniel? by Micha Archer. Read together, do fun activities, and enjoy the art and nature of the Sculpture Park! The story begins off the Hiler Family Terrace behind the Museum near Clement Meadmore’s sculpture UPBEAT (look for a black sculpture that looks like it’s dancing at the start of a path into the Sculpture Park) and continues east on a paved, gently sloping path. Parking is available in the Visitor Lot immediately north of the Sculpture Park for a fee during the week (before 4:30 p.m.). Free two-hour parking is available in the Eddy Street Commons Parking Garage or along Angela Blvd. After 4:30 p.m. and on weekends, parking is free and available in any non-gated lot. If traveling via South Bend Transpo, take the No.7 bus and use the stop for Eddy St. Commons (at the intersection of Angela & Eddy St). The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT, and was developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library in Montpelier, VT. StoryWalk® is a registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson.

So much art, so little time! Join us for this 15-minute lunchtime program, where a member of our Education staff will facilitate a brief, interactive conversation focused on “hidden gems” from our collection. We know that not all pieces take center stage, so this is your opportunity to become more deeply acquainted with the collection. Take a brief moment during your lunch break to engage with others in a relaxed, interactive discussion to explore new perspectives on a piece you might not have engaged with previously. After our brief conversation, participants can explore other works in the galleries or enjoy lunch at Ivan’s Café. Participants of this program will receive a 10% discount on their order. All are welcome.
