Story Saturday: A Boy Named Isamu: A Story of Isamu Noguchi by James Yang, November 19 at Carnegie Museum of Art.


The Carnegie Museum of Art will present "Story Saturday: A Boy Named Isamu: A Story of Isamu Noguchi by James Yang" on November 19.

Join us in the Ailsa Mellon Bruce Decorative Arts and Design galleries for an in-person story time with curatorial assistant Alyssa Velazquez reading A Boy Named Isamu: A Story of Isamu Noguchi by James Yang followed by an art-making activity for children 12 and under.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Spend an afternoon celebrating the birthday of Japanese American artist Isamu Noguchi in this reimagining of Noguchi as a young boy wandering through an outdoor market, through the forest, and then by the ocean. View the world through the eyes of the young artist and begin to see how "stones look like birds, and birds look like stones.

Following the art-making activity, be sure to wander the galleries to see objects by Noguchi in Carnegie Museum of Art's permanent collection.

The event runs from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm and is free, though registration is required. The museum is located at 4400 Forbes Ave. in Oakland (map), accessible by buses 28X, 58, 61A, 61B, 61C, 61D, 67, 69, 71B, 71D, 75, and P3.
