Recommended for children ages 3+ 

Join Guild Hall’s Anthony Madonna and storytellers from the East Hampton Library for a family hour of stories, gallery tours, and art workshops. At each session we will be reading a children’s book in response to the current exhibitions, Enoc Perez: Paradise and Karin Waisman: The Horizon is not a Straight Line, followed by a hands-on workshop.

This series is produced in tandem with the exhibitions, Enoc Perez: Paradise and Karin Waisman: The Horizon is not a Straight Line 

This week’s story is Marvelous Cornelius: Hurricane Katrina and The Spirit of New Orleans, Philip Bildner followed by repurposed assemblage inspired by Enoc Perez.

Sessions are held in-person at Guild Hall both indoors and outdoors, with gallery tours occur in the Museum and the adjoining workshop in the Minikes Garden. Masks are required at all times.

Space is extremely limited to a maximum of 15 participants. When registering, please be sure to register both adults and children.
