Located in a restored storefront in downtown Mount Vernon, The Annex is an extension of Kenyon College's teaching museum, The Gund. Through programs informed by The Gund’s growing permanent collection, we reimagine what it means to "learn with art” as a community. We invite neighbors, families, students, and lifelong learners to discover new connections to art, ideas, and each other through free workshops, creative activities, and events.

As an extension of The Gund’s mission to reimagine the 21st-century learning museum, The Annex explores how multigenerational audiences can learn together through creating and responding to art. Using a work or works from The Gund's permanent collection as inspiration, The Annex features three seasons (fall, winter/spring, and spring/summer) of theme-focused programming.
