CORNING, NY (WENY) - The Rockwell Museum is honoring Indigenous People’s Day this weekend. 

From October 9th until October 11th, the Rockwell Museum offers drop-in activities honoring the holiday with regular museum admission. Some of the activities include collecting art cards, exploring the galleries, and creating art with an "Art on the Go" project kit.  Admission for kids and teems is free of charge. 

The manager of marketing at the Rockwell Museum expressed their celebration of Indigenous People’s Day weekend as an event that gives back to the community. 

“It's a really nice way to come into the museum, connect with that art, and then we'll also have extra activities this weekend only to really get you to know those works a little better. It's especially focused for families but I think art explorers of all ages will get a lot out of it,” Willa Vogel said. 

The Rockwell Museum plans to honor The Day of the Dead in a similar fashion next weekend.
