Storytime Studio: Talk It Out

ABOUT STORYTIME STUDIO

Storytime Studio is a captivating blend of play, educator-led read-alouds, and art exploration designed for kids from birth to age 6 and their caregivers. During each hourlong session, starting at 10 and 11 AM every Wednesday and Thursday, visitors are welcomed into our studio to enjoy a special Storytime adventure.

THIS WEEK

Spanish sculptor Juan Muñoz’s (1953–2001) first retrospective in the United States premiered at the Hirshhorn in 2001, and his sculpture Last Conversation Piece (1994–1995) recently returned to the Museum Plaza. In the work, several figures appear to be engaged in a conflict. Join us to learn about conflict resolution and to make your own air-dry sculptures to take home.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Storytime Studio is a one-hour experience. There are two Storytime sessions each program day, with entry times at 10 and 11 AM. Participation for each adult and child is limited to one hour. No pre-registration is required. Entry to Storytime Studio is first-come, first-served. Once the 10 AM session reaches capacity, you’ll be given the option to return for entry to the 11 AM session. Storytime Studio has limited capacity. We’ll pause further entry when both sessions reach full capacity to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

Due to limited capacity during this public drop-in program, school, youth, and other large groups of eight or more (adults and children) are encouraged to reserve a group program by contacting [email protected]. Everyone is welcome. Nursing caregivers are welcome. If there are services or accommodations that can improve your experience (e.g., ASL interpretation, live captioning, etc.), please contact [email protected]. We appreciate receiving such requests at least one to two weeks in advance.
