cultures and time periods. The Museum attracts visitors
from Westchester and Fairfield Counties, as well as the larger tri-state
region. Located at the northern end of
Katonah’s “Museum Mile” just off of Route 22, and neighboring John Jay
Homestead and Caramoor, the Katonah Museum of Art is a two-minute taxi ride
from the Katonah Metro North train station.
The KMA offers lectures, workshops, concerts and other events for a
general audience, as well as innovative

interactive space where children can come on a daily basis to explore and
create art. Among the many programs for children and families are Stroller

Together program for new immigrant families has been recognized as a model
