The Post

Digital content on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter will supplement exhibitions and programs while the museum remains closed through the end of 2020. 

For the rest of the year, the CAM will provide virtual tours and programs while closed to the general public:

• Subscribe to the CAM’s new YouTube channel, and follow the release of videos every Friday from the Folk Arts series, From the Field and Gather Together Quilting Niagara. From the Field highlights cultural traditions practiced in Western New York, including folk art, foodways, traditional music, and dance from fieldwork conducted by the museum folklorist. Gather Together: Quilting Niagara is a video series accompanying the exhibition of the same name, developed in collaboration with the Kenan Center and the Kenan Quilters’ Guild. The video series is made up of an exhibition walkthrough and audio interview excerpts with each quilter featured in the exhibition.
