This summer camp will introduce girls to technology and foreign language in fun and creative ways. Creativity and out of the box thinking is at the heart of this fun, interactive camp. Parents should expect kids participating in the class to develop a new awareness and understanding of the world, a curiosity about technology and foreign language, and a connection to exciting cultures, people and ideas.

Mary and Max tells of a pen-pal relationship between two very different people: Mary Dinkle, a lonely 8-year-old living in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia; and Max Horovitz, an obese, 44-year-old Jewish man with Asperger’s Syndrome living in the chaos of New York City.nnThe clay-animated film explores their twenty-year bond that survives much more than the average friendship’s ups-and-downs. The film is both hilarious and poignant as it takes us on a journey that explores friendship, autism, taxidermy, psychiatry, alcoholism, where babies come from, obesity, kleptomania, sexual differences, trust, copulating dogs, religious differences, agoraphobia and many more of life’s surprises.nnVoices by Phillip Seymour Hoffman (as Max) and Toni Collette (as Mary).

This exhibition revisits some of the activities that bring the most pleasure to children. The works feature children enjoying the world of make-believe, games and toys, outdoor play, and crafts. While some images depict such blithe activities as singing, playing with dolls, and attending special events with family and friends, a few “quirky” objects prevent the exhibit from being too saccharine. So, come take a look, and remember what it’s like to be a carefree kid again.

Have you ever wondered what your handwriting could say about your npersonality? Or what the state of handwriting is in 2012? Please join usn for a panel-led conversation Handwriting: Then and Nown and the opening of the Graphology Institute inside Elsewhere, a living nmuseum set inside a former thrift store in Greensboro, NC. nnThe museum collection holds a letter from 1939 in which the thrift store’s nprevious owner, Sylvia Gray, had her handwriting analyzed using ngraphology. The practice is often deemed a pseudoscience, yet the lettern is able to pinpoint some of Sylvia’s traits that we know to be true: n“You have a personality which is properly developed...make the most of nit by dealing with people in the selling field or similar work.” Come ninvestigate your own handwriting while engaging in rousing discussion nwith artists, historians, and scientists about the importance of this nform of mark-making.nn
