Storytime Studio: In Love with Ideas
Bring your littlest loved ones to the Hirshhorn for a February filled with love! This week, we’ll explore the lifelong relationship between artists Yayoi Kusama and Joseph Cornell. Taking inspiration from both artists, we’ll make our own colorfully patterned paintings and a collaborative installation of found objects.
