You might think that the museum has no events planned these days, but let me reiterate that we certainly do, and our schedule of Family Days in particular has not slowed down. This Saturday, Valentine's Day, provides a lovely opportunity for the last one to be held in our Carlton Street building, after which they will take place at various venues, from the State Botanical Garden of Georgia to the Lamar Dodd School of Art to the Lyndon House Arts Center, as part of GMOA on the Move. From 10 a.m. to noon, families can learn about the art of origami from Hijiri Hattori, outreach coordinator for the Center for Asian Studies (which is cosponsoring the event), then work with volunteers to make folded hearts and boxes and get Valentine's treats in the café. The Red and Black, UGA's student-run newspaper, had an article on the event yesterday, in which the reporter spoke with Hattori and a few members of the museum staff. The event is free and open to the public, but if you can't make it, here's a great YouTube video that explains how to fold an origami heart:
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
