The Cincinnati Art Museum enjoys the support that it receives from 
librarians – both in schools and in the public library systems.

In recognition of this support, the Cincinnati Art Museum is hosting a 
special “meet the author” evening, in conjunction with the Museum’s 
special exhibition, /African American Masters: Highlights from the 
Smithsonian American Art Museum./

Award-winning children’s book author *Tonya Bolden* will be at the 
Museum, featuring her new book entitled /Wake Up Our Souls/. The book is 
a celebration of the history of black American artists, published by 
Harry N. Abrams, in association with the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

Ms. Bolden’s books are targeted at upper elementary/middle school. Her 
last book, /Tell All the Children Our Story/ (Abrams, 2002) explores 
what it has meant to be young and black in America. Ms. Bolden is a 
graduate of Princeton University and Columbia University. In addition to 
being a prolific writer, she also teaches and lectures.

Ms. Bolden will talk about her motivation to write /Wake Up Our Souls/ 
and will be available to sign copies of the book. Refreshments will be 
served.

Attendees to this special event will also be able to tour /African 
American Masters: Highlights from the Smithsonian American Art Museum 
/and learn more about the educational resources of the Cincinnati Art 
Museum.

Ms. Bolden will also be presenting at the Family First Saturday event on 
Saturday, Feb. 7 (1-4pm).

Museum. Reservations not required. 513/639-2971
