Bakelite in Yonkers: Pioneering the Age of Plastics
1 - 2 pm
Every day we come into contact with synthetic materials so familiar to us that life without them would be hard to imagine. Bakelite in Yonkers is a dynamic exhibition that shows the development of Bakelite, an early plastic vital to an array of twentieth century consumer products—ash trays, toilet seats, door handles, blocks, bracelets, clocks, dinnerware, flashlights, toasters, kitchen mixers, castanets, and toy cars—to name a few! Join Museum Educator Deborah Yasinsky for a discussion of bakelite and a look at some of the more unusual pieces in the exhibition.

Jacob Lawrence: Prints, 1963-2000, A Comprehensive Survey
1 - 1:45 pm
Explore the prints of Jacob Lawrence, one of the greatest African-American artists of the twentieth century, with Museum Educator Deborah Yasinsky. This tour will consider struggle, one of the major themes of the exhibition.
“I am dealing with struggle throughout my work, I think struggle is a beautiful thing. I think it has made our country what it is, starting with the American Revolution. I would like to think of the struggle in my work as not being just a black symbol, but a symbol of man’s capacity to endure and triumph.”  —Jacob Lawrence
