June 02 - June 30,2013
This summer at the Jones Center, AMOA-Arthouse rolls out a special June Story Series, designed to engage children each Sunday afternoon with the exhibitions in the galleries. This new educational offering will inspire kids to learn about contemporary art through an approachable lens: imagination. In thirty minutes, professional storytellers will guide families through Pinaree Sanpitak's installation Temporary Insanity and Seher Shah's exhibition Constructed Landscapes while reading from thematically related children's books. 5 SAturdays in June 1:00p.m. - 1:30p.m. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to secure spots, as space is limited. Featured storybooks: June 2: The Insect Architect by Nina Laden and Not a Box by Antoinette Portis June 9: A Home for Bird by Philip C. Stead and The Incredible Book Eating Boy by Oliver Jeffers June 16: Dinosaur Roar by Paul Stickland and The Umbrella Queen by Shirin Bridges June 23: Two Little Trains by Margaret Wise Brown and Dragons Love Tacos by Adam Rubin June 30: Boy and Bot by Ame Dyckman and Creepy Carrots! by Aaron Reynolds
