Staten Island Children's Museum Announces February Events

In commemoration of Black History Month, we're creating a month-long quilt project in Up4Art, our weekend walk-in family art workshop. Each weekend, create your own quilt square to be included in our quilt. Learn about the Underground Railroad from Sandy Ground on the 19th and create your own doorknob hanger honoring important African American historical figures. On the First Friday of the month, meet Andrea D'Oria-Cameron, Shoprite's in-house nutritionist at Kidz Cook. Andrea will answer all your food questions and concerns as well as help create healthy recipes. All programs are free with admission unless otherwise noted.
