Experience a magical environment full of whimsical creatures and surprising elements hand-crafted from recycled textiles. The site-specific installation will entice visitors to inspect, discover, and engage with the playful creations around them. This interactive, family-friendly space is open during regular Museum hours. Don’t miss visiting the joint exhibition on view at the Katonah Village Library. Free with Museum admission and Elena Grajek: Overdramatic, thru May 8. Grajek’s drawings, collages, and prints play with pareidolia, the human tendency to see an object or meaning where there is none. While her depictions of people and animals are deceptively simple and even child-like, her complex compositions, developed through layers of drawing, painting, and collage, suggest relationships and tensions among these characters, and invite the viewer to create narratives of their own. In Grajek's work, people and animals, sometimes clearly depicted and sometimes suggested in an abstracted form, may share a space with squiggles and blobs of color, or with lines that form complex but unidentifiable objects that live only in her work. Hours: Tues.-Sat., 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sun., 12-5 p.m. Admission: $12 for adults; $6 for seniors and students and free for members and children under 12. Proof of COVID-19 vaccination (ages 5+) and masks (ages 2+) are required for all visitors. Advance timed tickets are recommended. www.katonahmuseum.org.
