Included with the flyer sent home last week was a baggie for our “All for Books Campaign.” Collect any loose change from home, put in the baggie and bring in to class. The class that raises the most money will get to wrap Dr. Groover up like a mummy!

A Very GOREY Family Day at
Cranbrook Art Museum on October 22
Please join us on Saturday, October 22, from 11am – 3pm, for A Very Gorey Family Day at Cranbrook Art Museum! All activities will celebrate the illustrations of Edward Gorey.
Our current exhibition, Unsettled: The Work of Edward Gorey features many of the artist’s famed publications, including elaborately-designed artists’ books and assorted Gorey ephemera and memorabilia.
Museum educators will be on hand to help create Gorey-inspired artwork, just in time for the Halloween season!
Peer through Tunnel Calamity, Edward Gorey’s accordion book, and create your own collapsible book.
Sketch characters and masks learning Gorey’s shading and hatching techniques.
Set the stage with your creations, like the foldout miniatures seen in Dracula: A Toy Theatre.
Hear and see Gorey’s books read aloud in our mini-projection room.
All ages are welcome and activities are free with Museum admission. Children 12 and under are always free.
