(ages 4 to 7) This series of programs uses storytelling to introduce children to works of art. Led by museum educators, each program includes reading a children's book, looking at one work of art in the galleries, and completing a simple hands-on activity. The summer series features works in the West Building white the winter series explores works in the East Building.
This free drop-in programs are designed for individual families, and we cannot accommodate groups. Space is limited to 70 children per session. There is no advance registration; participation is on a first-come, first-served basis. Each program lasts approximately 60 minutes. Program times, dates, and topics follow. For information, call (202) 789-3030.
Sign-in for Stories in Art will take place in the East Building Atrium, beginning at 11:00 a.m. on Sundays, and will continue until all spaces are filled.
Winter Story Series: Investigate Modern and Contemporary Art
How do you investigate a work of art? Learn to make careful observations, analyze artist's choices, ask questions, and use your imagination while exploring works of art in the East Building. This winter, three imaginative stories are paired with three sculptures in the collection. After examining each sculptor's materials and techniques, you will create your own work of art inspired by the artist's process. You will receive a notebook to accompany the Winter Story Series and a stamp for each program attended. Collect all three stamps and receive a prize!
