Grades 5-8

City Look Lab will offer students the experience of thinking through, making structures, and dreaming up ways to design comfortable and fun spaces. It’s a free space for learning the art of solving design problems.

The City Look Lab Workshop project will focus on developing fundamental art and architectural design skills and exploring various key architectural aspects of the City of Kingston. Each first-week workshop day will focus on a different core lesson to help the participating students choose and explore their interest in the intersection between art and architecture. The project is also designed to hone skills that will be helpful for the (art-inclined) student wanting to develop their portfolio (skills). The City Look Lab is open to all levels of students willing to experience collaborative art-making to understand its real-world applications. Students will take field trips and walking tours and ride the busses to explore our city’s cultural, environmental, and architectural wonders.

Our project brings proof that someone believes that a community such as Kingston deserves dignity and beauty and can be fortified by sprinkling tidbits of its community’s student creativity. This can be as simple as having creative students make colorful Public Projects such as signs, mini murals, benches, gates, bike racks, etc. City Look Lab is also designed as a great accentuation to help our place see itself as a great community by helping it fortify commuter access information to its transit options through creativity and more, giving dignity to those dependent on public spaces.

The Norman Rockwell Museum is honored to present a rare series of early twentieth century lighting advertisements by Norman Rockwell and fellow Golden Age illustrators Maxfield Parrish, N.C. Wyeth, Dean Cornwell, Stanley Arthurs, Worth Brehm, and Charles Chambers created for Edison Mazda Lamps, a division of the General Electric Company. These luminous, richly painted works were widely circulated in published advertisements through the 1920s and are on loan to the Museum for the first time through the generosity of GE Aerospace.

“Once a Tree: Continuity, Creativity, and Connection” explores the deep-rooted significance of trees in Haudenosaunee culture, tradition, and creative expression. Featuring the work of 42 artists and more than 100 objects—including decorative and utilitarian baskets, cradleboards, snowshoes, ladles, lacrosse sticks, toys, instruments, carvings, and sleds—this exhibition highlights the important relationship between nature and artistry. Selected from the Museum’s permanent collection, the exhibition was created with guidance from curatorial consultants Terry Chrisjohn III (Oneida), Preston Jacobs (Mohawk), and Sheila Ransom (Mohawk).

"Separated but Unbroken: The Haudenosaunee Boarding School Experience" explores the lasting impact of the Thomas Indian School, once located on the Cattaraugus Reservation south of Buffalo, NY, and The Mohawk Institute near Branford, Ontario. These institutions, which enrolled a significant number of Haudenosaunee students, were part of a larger system that sought to erase Indigenous identities while deeply shaping the lives of those who endured them. Co-curated by Erin Keaton (Mohawk), the exhibition sheds light on Haudenosaunee resilience.
