Things That Go Bump in the Night

Where the Wild Things Are, the beloved 1963 children’s book illustrated and written by Maurice Sendak, will inspire a two-part exhibit series at South Shore Arts from November 2019 through April 2020.

Exploring both adult and childlike perceptions of life and worlds created outside of reality, Wild Things will be comprised of Things That Go Bump in the Night, the first part of the series featuring the nightmarish subject matter and mysterious creatures from the imaginations of several ghoulish artists, and Maurice Sendak: The Memorial Exhibition, the second part of the series, commemorating the beloved illustrator and author, who became famous for his children’s book about a boy’s very amusing imagination.

Monday – Friday, 10am-5pm
