Artist and educator Jeff Hopkins invites families to participate in an interactive storytelling workshop inspired by the exhibition Agents of Faith: Votive Objects in Time and Place. During this interactive story time, Hopkins will work on wall sized pieces of paper, drawing, narrating and acting out the character’s actions and sounds. Following the performance, Hopkins will facilitate a storyboard workshop inviting families to imagine their own illustrated stories inspired by works on view in the gallery. Join us for storytelling, gallery explorations, and a hands-on workshop designed to foster creativity.
