Summer at the Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College features new expanded hours and two of the Tang’s most popular traditions: the “Upbeat on the Roof” concert series and the community open house, Frances Day, in honor of the museum’s namesake, Frances Young Tang.
Upbeat on the Roof begins its twenty-second season on Thursday, July 6, at 6 pm with the Albany-based folk band Blue Ranger. New this year, the Tang’s Museum Education team are creating craft kits for kids, which will be given away before each concert starting at 5:30 p.m.
Frances Day is Saturday, July 15, from 2 to 6 pm. The open house features exhibitions, art-making, music, food, and tours. All tours will include American Sign Language interpretation. This year, visitors can meet and make art with two exhibiting artists: Lauren Kelley will lead participants in making snow globes; and Paula Wilson will give a tour of her new exhibition “Toward the Sky’s Back Door” and lead visitors in a stamp-making project.
Dayton Director of the Tang Ian Berry joins us.
