Children and seniors occupy a special place
within the Museum. Each summer an AfriAm Children's Art Camp is
sponsored. Participation is open to all students in grades four
and up. There is a nominal fee.
The Museum is involved in a children's storytelling
project that will be the foundation for an ongoing reading and creative
writing club.
During the summer of 1996, a collage
workshop for seniors was held. It attracted such a diverse audience
that plans are being made to expand the program.
