CUENTA-CUENTOS: STORYTIME in Spanish

Join us for a special STORYTIME in Spanish! We will think about how artists honor memory, and read aloud Juana Martinez-Neal’s Alma y como obtuvo su nombre, a story about a little girl with five ancestral names. Following the story, we’ll create our own works exploring our own favorite memories.

Ven a un Cuenta-cuentos especial en español! Hablaremos de cómo los artistas honran recuerdos, y leeremos en voz alta el libro Alma y como obtuvo su nombre, para Juana Martinez-Neal, una historia sobre una niña con cinco nombres ancestrales. Después de la historia, crearemos nuestras propias obras explorando nuestros recuerdos favoritos.

CUENTA-CUENTOS: STORYTIME in Spanish explores contemporary art through stories and movement.  Each week STORYTIME features a fresh and fun theme. Bring your littlest art lover for an introduction to an artist on view, interactive read aloud, and a hands-on activity. All audiences are welcome to join this Spanish-language program, led by a multilingual educator.
