Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, Summer 2006

May 18th, 2006

In yesterday’s mail, along with the usual bills and credit card offers, I received the summer 2006 program calendar for the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art in Amherst, MA. Event highlights include a Saturday storytime with Barbara Lehman (August 19), author of The Red Book, and the annual Eric Carle book signing (Sunday, August 6).

For visitors who cannot make it to the special events, there is plenty to see in the exhibit galleries. In the East Gallery, “Dutch Treats: Contemporary Illustration from the Netherlands” will be on display until June 25, after which “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” will open on July 11. In the West Gallery, “Creative Connections: The Art of Eric Carle and Leo Lionni” runs until September 3. And, the recently opened “PROCESS: From Person to Pencil to Published” runs until December 10.

Of course, there is too much to list in a blog post, so visit the museum’s website for a complete listing. The PDF version of the calendar is not up yet, but I am sure it will be posted soon.
