Storytime Studio: Totally You!
January 15, 2025 | 10:00 am–12:00 pm
Get your New Year’s fresh start with art! This week, we’ll express what makes us special, taking inspiration from artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. We’ll explore symbols, look closely at Basquiat’s artwork, read stories, and make artful accessories that celebrate ourselves.
