LYMAN ALLYN ART MUSEUM OPENS EXHIBITION FEATURING CALDECOTT MEDAL RECIPIENTS
New London – Through picture books, readers embark on visual journeys that engage all of the senses and encourage curious, imaginative, and thoughtful interactions with the world around them. Since 1938, the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association, has recognized the significant impact of art on early reading experiences, awarding the Caldecott Medal for excellence in this area. The exhibition Young at Art: A Selection of Caldecott Book Illustrations includes original illustrations from Caldecott Medal recipients and from “runner-up” Honor books, as well as other illustrations by award-winning artists. It will be on view at the Lyman Allyn Art Museum October 21, 2020 through January 17, 2021. [Read more…]
