PEM Pals: Claymates

Friday, February 6, 2026 from 10:30—11:30 am

In-person event
Location: Main Atrium

Included with admission

Join us for a reading of Claymates, written by Dev Petti and illustrated by Lauren Eldridge. In this story about creativity and friendship, two balls of clay “squish, smash and sculpt themselves into the funniest shapes imaginable” and go on an adventure.

After the music, movement and art making, visit Edmonia Lewis: Said in Stone to explore sculptures by an acclaimed 19th-century Black and Indigenous artist.

Designed for children (5 and under) and their caregivers, PEM Pals aims to engage and excite all of the senses through books, movement, music, art and hands-on activities. Held on the first Friday of the month at 10:30 am.
