Material in the exhibit was sourced from author/illustrator Stephen Costanza’s book King of Ragtime: The Story of Scott Joplin.
On Saturday, Feb. 28, at 10:30 a.m., Constanza (along with a couple of surprise musical guests) will present a multimedia event entitled, "A Scott Joplin Celebration!" With a mix of live music, storytelling, and an animated slideshow, Costanza will introduce families to Scott Joplin and provide a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to create a picture book.
Books and art prints will be available for purchase and signing at the event.
