Join us for a fun and engaging storytime inspired by the vibrant and textured world of Brazilian artist Sonia Gomes. Building on the foundations of literacy, Pre-K students and their caregivers enjoy a short museum tour and learn about the creative process of working with repurposed materials, as seen in Gomes’ sculpture Torções (Torsions).

Enjoy a reading of “The Idea in You” by author Questlove, a tale that celebrates the power of imagination. Connect with Gomes’ unique art style by crafting colorful fabric sculptures. Using materials like fabric scraps, tree branches, and pipe cleaners, little ones will experiment with texture, shape, and storytelling to create their three-dimensional art pieces. This hands-on activity celebrates the beauty of repurposed materials, new ideas, and personal expression—just like Gomes’ inspiring works.
