Do you know someone who has been meaning to visit the Loeb but hasn’t made it happen yet? Or someone who thinks art isn’t for them, and you’d like to convince them otherwise? Please join us for a new tradition, Bring a Friend Day, and enjoy a day full of activities—together. The day’s offerings include art-making, engaging mini-tours, light refreshments, and a pop-up installation of art made by students from Poughkeepsie City Schools through the Saturday Morning Lights program.
