SLMSSENY will host a visit to the Katonah Museum of Art for a guided tour and studio program on Sunday, January 7, 2023 from 3:30 - 4:30 pm. Guests must find their own transportation to the museum. 

Tenacity & Resilience: The Art of Jerry Pinkney will feature more than 80 beautiful illustrations and working drawings from nine children’s books spanning 1979 to the present by Jerry Pinkney, one of America’s most renowned children’s book illustrators. These illustrations express powerful messages from the history of the Civil Rights movement in America, honor Black heritage, and inspire with tales of courage and aspiration. They also reflect Pinkney’s compassionate nature and his desire to be a “strong role model for my family and other African Americans.”

Jerry Pinkney passed away on October 20, 2021, three months before the opening of this exhibition. We hope you will join us in celebrating his legacy and enjoying his multifaceted talents as a master watercolorist, draftsman, and storyteller.
