This month, celebrate Children’s Day in Japan with colorful koinobori, carp-shaped windsocks. Led by Guest Artist Mieko Anekawa you will experiment with mixed media collage, using watercolor, markers, crayons and more. The carp was selected as a symbol of strength and prosperity. According to legend, a carp swam upstream to become a dragon. When the carp windsock blows in the wind, it appears to be swimming.

See more of Mieko's work at www.miekomieko.com.

Every month, join us for a Family Sunday Pop-Up, hosted by Mingei International Museum! This free program for all ages includes interactive activities throughout the library, a hands-on art project, musical performances, storytelling, prizes and much more. Each month the Museum partners with local artists and organizations throughout the San Diego region to offer a diverse range of programming tied thematically to the Museum’s permanent collection.

Mini Mingei Storytime: Look, discuss and listen during this 30-minute interactive story time intended for art-loving children and families of all ages. Offered at 1:00pm.

At 2:30 pm, enjoy the sounds of Camarada and meet Scott Paulson on harp, theremin and other “gestural” instruments as he takes you on a musical journey and shares all about his craft. Learn more about Camarada at www.classicalmusicsandiego.com.
