Meet the Artists Day: Featuring Courtney Lebow, 2026 Creative-in-Residence
Saturday September 12 | 1:00 pm-3:00 pm
Join us as we unveil “Light That Reflects on My Crown,” a vibrant new mural by our 2026 Creative-in-Residence, Courtney Lebow! Over the past several months, Courtney has collaborated with children and families at the Chesterfield Museum to transform a large wall into a joyful celebration of swirling colors, crowns, and sparkles.
The mural celebrates the idea that every child is inherently worthy, radiant, and deserving of a crown. Through repeated yet unique crown designs, the artwork reflects each child’s individuality while reinforcing a shared sense of value, joy, and belonging.
The afternoon will begin at 1 pm with a brief welcome and an opportunity to hear directly from Courtney about her inspiration, creative process, and collaboration with Museum visitors. Afterward, explore the Museum as additional local artists lead hands-on art experiences and invite children and families to try different mediums.
Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a family looking for a creative afternoon, or you’ve been following Courtney’s mural as it came to life, we hope you’ll join us for this special celebration of imagination and artistic expression!
We’ll be joined by the following artists:
- Maddy Miller — bracelet making
- Grace Smith — sock puppets creations
- Ad Lester — wand activity
- Taylor Freeman — picture frame decorating activity
- Cameron Clark — costume making activity
- And more (details coming soon)!
Event and Art Activities included with museum admission.
