“Do the Mu!”—Mega Murals with Bili Kribbs

On Saturday, August 1, the Massillon Museum will host its monthly “Do the Mu” program, a free family drop-in activity time. The theme “Mega Murals with Bili Kribbs” will accent the upcoming exhibition, “Stark Naked Salon.” Kribbs will be one of eleven emerging artists who will be featured in the eye-popping show, which will open in the Museum’s main gallery on August 22.

The artist will help visitors create several murals on a large scale to decorate the Museum in preparation for the upcoming exhibit. He will encourage experimentation with big shapes, bold colors, and creativity.

“See your work celebrated and displayed for the whole city to see for months to come!" says the Massillon Museum’s Educator, Jill Malusky Bacon, who instituted the “Do the Mu” program.

“Do the Mu!” 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.
