Free Art-Making Series Starts Sunday 
The Katherine Trubek Sundays on the Terrace series encourages families to create works of art while enjoying an afternoon at one of the prettiest places in all of New Jersey. Everyone can join in the fun from 1 to 4 PM this Sunday (June 1) and create animals out of newspapers and other art materials. Let your imagination run wild creating fantasy animals like dragons or unicorns, or make your favorite family pet or wild animal. We hope to fill our terrace with animals!
This series honors Katherine Bell Trubek (1904-1991), one of the artist founders of the Hunterdon Art Museum. Her art is currently on display in our Artist Founders of the Hunterdon Art Museum show. Trubek's work was influenced by the still life paintings of the 20th century Italian master Giorgio Morandi. Her art captures Morandi’s quiet elegance, but her carefully placed arrangements are more open and her colors less muted. Among the roughly 15 still life paintings included in this exhibition is Homage to Sergio de Campos Mello and Toshiko Takaezu, which pays homage to the work of the Brazilian painter and Japanese ceramicist. Future Katherine Trubek Sundays on the Terrace events are June 22, 29; July 13, 20, 27; Aug. 10, 24; Sept. 7, 21; Oct. 5, 19. All events run from
1 to 4 PM. This series is supported by a gift from the Trubek family.

Stop in for readings by three terrific poets: Hayden Saunier, Juditha Dowd and Bob Rosenbloom. Finally, Maya Angelou has been called "one of the brightest lights of our time." She was a poet, a memoirist and playwright; a teacher and a healer. Angelou died Wednesday, May 28, at the age of 86. Below, she reads her poem Thank You, Lord with animation by Santiago Cohen, whose work was featured in a solo exhibition at HAM last fall.. CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO
