It is Hirshhorn Kids’ goal to inspire future generations of artists, makers, and creative problem solvers; sharing artists’ stories is one way we realize this goal. About the Artist biographies are designed for kids under age 12, and enlightening for anyone interested in contemporary and modern art.
