Getting to Know You: Join our next series of YALA Baby Artsplay! at Home
Young Audiences of Louisiana (YALA) will continue to provide live online workshops to families via Zoom. YALA’s latest Baby Artsplay! at Home series, “Getting to Know You”, begins on Thursday, April 15, 2021 at 9:30 a.m. Each workshop experience will be led by Young Audiences of Louisiana and Louisiana Wolf Trap Teaching Artist Nanette Ledet. "Getting to Know You" allows for a playful introduction to key areas of childhood development, including motor skills, language and motor skills. While workshops are designed to promote childhood development and expand caregiver knowledge through the use of the performing arts, YALA’s Baby Artsplay! workshop will also give families the opportunity to explore visual art with their children.
In this series, YALA has partnered with the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. Ogden Museum’s mission is to broaden the knowledge, understanding, interpretation and appreciation of the visual arts and culture of the American South through its events, permanent collections, changing exhibitions, educational programs, publications and research; they have contributed one piece of southern artwork to share with each lesson. Thanks to the generous contribution of The Helis Foundation, workshops are free to the public.
In order to keep families safe, all sessions will take place virtually via Zoom. Participate from any location, whether on a laptop, tablet or a cell phone. Register today to receive a workshop link for all six workshops: www.ya4la.org/register
