Artful Story Time in ASL

Join us for a lively story time inspired by art! Come look, listen, and move as we make connections with original works of art and children’s books. Best for ages 2 and up with adult caregivers.

This bilingual session is led by Gideon Friant in American Sign Language (ASL) with English interpretation. We welcome all families to this inclusive story time!
