In conjunction with the Living Objects exhibit, the Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry will present Living Objects: African American Puppetry Festival and Symposium on February 7-10, 2019!
Kay Janney Library & Archives
The Ballard Institute’s Kay Janney Library and Archives, named for its longtime librarian, is a research collection of over 2,500 books, scripts, manuscripts, clipping files, posters, and audio-visual materials related to the history of puppet theater.
Workshops
The Ballard Institute is currently offering workshops for groups of children and adults that are conducive to educators seeking new and inventive ways to incorporate puppetry into their teaching methods, and to student organizations looking to learn more about how to build and manipulate puppets.
