“Adapted two of ashley's stories - the dancing granny for an older audience and beautiful blackbird for ages 18 months to 5 years. Ashley was able to attend a performance of the dancing granny in june. Over 12,500 children and adults attended these sold-out performances. A distillation of the exhibition will travel to the portland maine museum of art in august 2018. Additionally work by bryan was committed to two other major exhibitions in 2018. A coretta scott king award winner exhibition organized by the national center for children's illustrated literature which will tour nationally and telling a people's story: african-american children's illustrated literature organized by the miami university art museum in oxford ohio. There were numerous requests to reproduce ashley's work in magazines ranging from general interest periodicals to more specialized publications. The center cooperated fully to accommodate these various requests. The storyteller pavilion opened in july of 2017 with the stained-glass windows still in a temporary but nevertheless elegant display. With docents enhancing the experience, the pavilion welcomed over 1,000 visitors over the course of the summer. The pavilion reduced its hours from 42 hours 10 -4 seven days a week after labor day 20 hours 11-3 five days a week, and after columbus day, it was open by appointment.”
