Blog @ the Nelson-Atkins

Last weekend I helped with the Museum’s outreach booth at the farmer’s market in Brookside. As part of the outreach, we visit several local farmer’s markets and art festivals to hand out material and talk with members of the community about what’s going on at the Nelson Atkins.

We had a fabulous turn out and a blast at the same time. We gave away these great free sketch books promoting the Museum, and people seemed to really enjoy them.

Four wonderful Museum volunteers came to help with the effort which added tons of excitement to the booth. They were such a great help and I really appreciated their support.

I was so surprised at the number of people that attended the farmer’s market and interesting booths and vendors that were present. A caricature artist, beautiful flowers, and locally grown fresh vegetables.

I had a fantastic time and am going to be there again this weekend, July 25th. We will also be at the Lawrence Farmer’s Market on August 8th. I cannot wait, and I hope to see you all there!
