| Tuesday thru Saturday 11:00am-5:00pm; Sunday 1:00-5:00pm |
| The Castellani Art Museum of Niagara University presents an exciting new Folk Art exhibit that explores the world of domestic and occupational aprons by combining three exhibits into one. Part one of the exhibit features a diverse selection of 47 aprons from the personal collection of Mrs. Karen Anderson of Lynn Center, Illinois. Entitled Artistic and Functional: Aprons from the Karen Anderson Collection, these aprons demonstrate the ingenuity of American women who created aprons from recycled materials, such as dresses, curtains, blue jeans, and feed sacks. Part two of the exhibit, called Aprons from a Local Kitchen Drawer, is comprised of aprons collected by Catherine Hackenheimer (February 7, 1857—April 1, 1952), the grandmother of Castellani Art Museum volunteer Jean Hackenheimer. Part three of this exhibit, entitled Aprons at Work, includes a series of eight occupational apron portraits that show how people use aprons on the job. Lauren Tent of the CEPA Gallery took these photographs with the intention of highlighting the role that aprons play as protectors of people’s lives, not just their wardrobes. For more information on this exhibit and related programming please contact Curator of Folk Arts Claire Aubrey at (716) 286-8290. h/c access |

| Music with Mar. Classes |
| Tue. Apr 29 to Fri. Dec 31 2010 |
| Tues. evenings 6:30pm, Wed. mornings 10am |
What makes "Music with Mar." different? The mission of the MwM program is to get more parents involved with their children in positive activities while using music to prepare them for the future!
Music with Mar. is a class where a caregiver and a child participate together in musical activities which enhance the four main areas of development-cognitive, social, motor and language. A good music foundation , as well as an all around good academic foundation, is laid through the use of well thought out lyrics and movements. Music with Mar. classes: *focus on the total development of the child, and not on musicality *children learn best through play and activation of many senses *provides an environment where the parent and child are comfortable *children can start to understand how to behave in this setting.
Music with Mar. ~~ *Class length is 45minutes *Adult attend with Child *Cost is $6.00/session or $25.00 for a block of five classes ~do not need to make consecutive weeks; ~must be w/instructor purchased from ~$25 card expires in 4months ~price per family/not per child ~not separated by ages; learn from siblings *Activities include: puppets rhythm instruments kazoos bean bags parade books *Special package ~5 classes + Bk w/4 CDs = $65 *Rules are for safety: turn off cell phones no eating

A variety of speakers will lead 5 different sessions. Some sessions will be ½ day and others will be full day topics. The Programs will focus on the various tool sets needed to achieve LSS success such as: Creative Problem Solving, TRIZ, Design of Experiments, Measurement Systems Analysis (GR&R), Team Building, Measure tools, Analyze tools, Control tools, etc.
Several well-known local speakers will lead these sessions and inspire attendees to get started in Lean Six Sigma problem solving to improve your bottom-line profit.
