Do the Mu!—Local Allegories, Stories of Massillon

On Saturday, May 2, the Massillon Museum will host its monthly “Do the Mu” program, a free family drop-in activity time. The theme “Local Allegories, Stories of Massillon” will be based on the current exhibition of the same name by artist Jody Hawk.

Families and individuals are invited to join Hawk, a visiting assistant professor at the University of Akron, for a tour of the second-floor exhibition of three-dimensional collages based on the oral histories of local women. Afterwards, participants will create their own art inspired by Hawk’s story boxes.

The “Do the Mu” program, instituted by the Massillon Museum’s Educator, Jill Malusky Bacon, is free and open to all. Participants may drop in any time between noon and 2:00 p.m. on the first Saturday of every month for a tour, an arts activity, and a snack. No pre-registration is required. “Do the Mu!” receives funding from ArtsinStark.

The Massillon Museum is located at 121 Lincoln Way East (Ohio Route 172) in downtown Massillon. A visit to the Massillon Museum is always free. For more information, call the Museum at 330-833-4061 or visit www.massillonmuseum.org.
