Extra, extra! The latest edition of The Little Dispatch is now available at newsstands and libraries throughout the Rivertowns! This spring-themed issue showcases our young reporters' adventures in art and nature.
Inside This Issue:
Walking Through Art
Follow Edie, age 10, as she takes readers on an immersive journey through The Bookstore, the vibrant installation created by the artist Red Grooms at the Hudson River Museum. Edie's firsthand account captures what it feels like to step inside a work of art rather than just viewing it on a screen.
"Would you like to see art you can walk through, in person?" writes Edie, before guiding readers through the colorful world where books meet imagination. Her interview with Chair of the Curatorial Department, Laura Vookles, reveals how this installation makes art accessible to everyone, reminding us that "we are part of the artwork too."
