Anderson Collection, The Denning Family Resource Center: October Museum Minis: Storytime at the Anderson

Museum Minis is a welcoming monthly storytime at the Anderson Collection for children ages 0–5 and their caregivers. Each session features two engaging, age-appropriate books inspired by the essential elements of art—line, color, shape, and texture—introducing young children to these ideas and connecting them to artworks in the museum’s collection. Together, families are invited to look closely, notice details, and experience the museum environment in an accessible, joyful way. The Anderson Collection is home to works by artists such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Joan Mitchell, and Nick Cave. The morning concludes with a light snack and time to connect.

Our storyteller, Maria, is a Visitor Experience Assistant and Museum Engagement Guide at the Anderson Collection. She brings a deep love of art, storytelling, and community to her work, and believes that every artwork — and every person — holds a story worth sharing. Outside the museum, she enjoys prioritizing wellness and slowing down with a good cup of tea.

No RSVP necessary, walk-ins welcome!
