Here are some of the upcoming events and exhibits most worth checking out.

• Ubuhle Women: Beadwork and the Art of Independence

• Campbell House

  Amasa and Grace Campbell owned the home, and some of the exhibits teach you more about their lives. Grace was a progressive woman for her time and was quite involved in several charitable organizations. You can take a self-guided tour of the Campbell House Tuesday - Sunday between 12:00 and 4:00 pm. 
  
  
• Humaira Abid: Searching for Home
  Humaira Abid: Searching for Home will be open from April 1 - August 6, 2023. This exhibition of artwork includes hand carvings and wood crafts that call attention to the struggles of female refugees. 
  
  This exhibit is praised not only for its content but also for the talent that was required to create the beautiful woodcarvings. The three-dimensional creations make the work feel more life-like and personal.
  
  
• The Wyeths: Three Generations
