Lamb Arts Fest

November 2nd, 2024 1:00-4:00

For the first time, the Miles B. Carpenter Museum had the pleasure of attending the Lamb Arts Fest in Hopewell! This wonderful event brings all manner of the arts to the public with free exhibitions and activities. A great day to see some of Mr. Carpenter's works out in the open air!

Oktoberfest

October 5th, 2024 3:00-8:00

For the second year, the Miles B. Carpenter Museum hosted Oktoberfest which is put together through the hardwork of the Sussex County Chamber of Commerce and the Town of Waverly. This year's event included children's activities from 3:00 to 5:00 including pumpkin decorating and a bounce house. The Feature Attraction Band provided the music and a host of local vendors joined us with their wares, food, and beverages. It was a wonderful way to kick off fall!

Summer Art Classes

June 17th-20th, 2024 10:00-2:00

For the first time in many years, the Miles B. Carpenter Museum had art lessons on its grounds! Twenty children ages six to twelve spent four days learning how to draw, paint, use chalk pastels, build bird houses, create macrame pieces, make door hangers, and create 3D mixed media art. The kids created a wonderful variety of pieces and saw how the skills they learned in one class helped them create in another. We heard a lot of voices tell us they'd be back again next year!
