Art Start

What is this?

Nurture your early learner’s creativity through art, music, movement, and play! Art Start invites toddlers and preschoolers to explore in a welcoming environment that encourages curiosity, imagination, and growth. Each session features a story, song, and art-making activity, plus a special letter or instrument of the day to spark hands-on discovery for families and caregivers to enjoy together. Drop by on this day to experience the story, A Sick Day for Amos McGee by Phillip C. Stead, a gentle story about friendship and care. Then, create a collage and drawing inspired by the themes of slowing down and quiet moments found in A Month of Sundays: Art and the Persistence of Time. The Mid-South Cohort, a multi-year, multi-institutional exhibition partnership formed by the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, in collaboration with the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts, the Birmingham Museum of Art, Fisk University Art Gallery, and the Mississippi Museum of Art, is made possible by the Art Bridges Cohort Program. This exhibition is organized by the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts. Image courtesy of Jason Masters
