Child participating in STORYTIME in garden

Storytime is currently a drop-in experience. Join Hirshhorn educators any time between 10 am–noon; we will host read-alouds at 10:30 am and 11:30 am. ASL interpretation is provided at the 10:30 reading.

Get inspired by the seasonal changes happening all around us and join for a spring-inspired Storytime! Young artists will look closely at Futurist Flowers, by artist Giacomo Balla, and read Plants Can’t Sit Still, by Mia Posada. After the read-aloud, we’ll build and sculpt our own nature-inspired works!  

Meet on the Second Level.


Do this at home! Transform used cardboard materials into futuristic sculptures! Instructions here.

Two colored used cardboard pieces have been cut out into vaguely tree-like shapes to form small sculptures.


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.
