NOMA and the New Orleans Public Library (NOPL) have partnered to bring together art and early literacy activities for this community program designed for children ages 2–5 and their caregivers. Inspired by NOMA’s Mini Masters, an arts-integration program that provides visual arts experiences and museum interaction for preschool students, participants of Mini Masters at the Library will engage in hands-on art making activities and develop the early literacy skills needed to become ready to read. Picture books will be provided by NOPL.
