The Brooklyn Children's Museum (BCM) will kick off a daylong celebration of Opposites Abstract: A Mo Willems Exhibit on Saturday, March 16, with a special storytime with author and illustrator Mo Willems, who will read from some of his favorite books.
The event will view showings of Mo Willems Storytime Shorts! cartoons, a concert performance by Brooklyn Conservatory of Music and an opportunity to take photos with the Pigeon on the museum’s replica MTA bus, according to a news release.
Opposites Abstract: A Mo Willems Exhibit, which opened last fall and is on view through May, invites visitors to explore the concept of opposites through hands-on experiences, art-making activities, and artist-led performances.
“Opposites Abstract has been a great journey for me to think about ideas in different ways. And my goal with Opposites Abstract is for you to go out and find your own opposites and create them yourself to ask these questions,” said Mo Willems, the well-known children’s book author and illustrator. “Maybe the oldest member of your family and the youngest member of your family can create their own opposites and see how their art styles mix and are different.”
Tickets to Celebrate Opposites Abstract are $15 each and include general admission. Tickets do not include entry to the Mo Willems Storytime. To learn more and get tickets, visit www.brooklynkids.org/programs/celebrate-opposites-abstract.
