Children age 3 to 5 will get to learn about movie posters and the influence of black cinema Oct. 2-3 as The Grace Museum plays host to tots from around Abilene and the Friendly Frontier.

The program is part of the museum’s monthly Tot Spot, where children ages 3 to 5 and their parents or guardians come to The Grace to expand their imaginations through hands-on activities and gallery games.

In October, the theme is “Movie Posters.” The children will get to see The Grace’s second floor exhibit titled “Imaging Blackness, 1915-2002: Film Posters from the Indiana University Black Film Center/Archive,” and then make their way up to The Grace’s Education Center to create their movie poster during craft time.

Tot Spot starts at 10 a.m. Oct. 2, and also runs at 9:30 and 11 a.m. Oct. 3.

Reservations are required for the monthly program, which is free for museum members; nonmembers pay $5. Call (325) 673-4587 or visit The Grace Web site at www.thegracemuseum.org to register or get more information.

The Grace Museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. every Thursday. Admission is free Thursday evening after 5 p. m. For more information, call (325) 325-673-4587.
