Rob Fields was appointed last month as the new director of the Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling and wants to expand the imagination of local children with the goal of making them better citizens.

The Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling was developed by Broadway Housing Communities and is part of the The Sugar Hill Project. The museum sits on the first and lower floor of a recently built 191,000 square-feet mixed-use building located at West 155th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue. The space features art exhibition spaces along with visual arts and performance offerings.
