Join us and a horticulturist from Smithsonian Gardens as we explore Spatial Concept: Nature, by Lucio Fontana, the nature on the Hirshhorn’s Plaza, and read Square, by Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen. Following the story, we will create our own nature-inspired artworks. Meet on the Plaza.
Do this at home! Make your own abstract sculpture inspired by Barbara Hepworth. Instructions here.
ABOUT STORYTIME
Join Hirshhorn Kids on Wednesdays for a one-of-a-kind Storytime experience! Each week offers a fun and fresh theme for our youngest artists and their adults. Get a fun and hands-on introduction to a new artwork each week, and participate in a joyful read-aloud filled with music, stories, and tons of movement. Then, stay and play while your little artist creates. No reservations or tickets required. Nursing caregivers are welcome. Stroller parking is available in the Hirshhorn Lobby. ASL is provided at the 10:30am reading. If there are additional access services or accommodations that can make your experience more inclusive, please contact hmsgeducation@si.edu; 1–2 week’s advance notice is recommended but not required. Groups of ten or more, should contact hmsgeducation@si.edu with their requested program date and group details. |
