The Morris Museum of Art is hosting numbers of special holiday events in November and December that promise something for everyone—“Sweets with the Sugar Plum Fairy,” silhouette portraits by artist Clay Rice, a photo opportunity with Santa and Mrs. Claus provided by Barry Koenig, a children-friendly concert by family favorite Tara Scheyer, and a trunk show by jeweler Katrina Gray.
“The Morris consistently strives to offer events that all ages can enjoy, and there is no better time than the holidays to bring your family to the Morris,” said Janna Crane, special events coordinator at the Morris Museum of Art. “Plus, the majority of our events are nominally priced or free.”
