Since July 2022, Kathi Ember has been hard at work creating a mural inspired by “Alice in Wonderland” in the Kemerer Museum of Decorative Arts. This mural will be a part of the “From Marbles to Make Believe: Let’s Play!” exhibition located in the Kemerer Museum of Decorative Arts (427 N New St, Bethlehem). Kathi Ember is a Kutztown-based artist who primarily specializes in children’s illustration. She has illustrated many children’s books, including, “Squirrel’s New Year’s Resolution” and “Substitute Groundhog.”

This event takes place on Sunday, February 5 at 1 pm at the Kemerer Museum of Decorative Arts. The event is free for all guests and includes refreshments, a Paint-Your-Own-Tea Set activity, and a visit from “Alice” herself.
