sister dreamer and The Broad: Our Block, Our Stories
Explore a New Landmark and Share Your Story
Our Block, Our Stories is a multi-site field trip connecting the newly opened sister dreamer sculpture park in South Los Angeles with The Broad. The program begins at sister dreamer, Lauren Halsey's large-scale public art installation, where students spend about an hour reflecting on their own identities, neighborhoods, and communities through writing, discussion, and close observation. Students then travel by provided bus to The Broad, where they continue in the galleries with onsite worksheets that support observation, reflection, and conversation. A pre-visit video and classroom activity prepare students ahead of time, and a post-visit activity extends the learning back in the classroom.

Art + Story and Art & Rhyme
Art, Conversation, and Creative Thinking in the Galleries
Facilitated, 90-minute in-gallery programs led by The Broad's Visitor Experience team. Using Visual Thinking Strategies, students closely observe artworks from the collection, share their ideas, and build meaning through guided discussion. Sessions connect the themes in the artwork to students' own lives and invite them to respond creatively through storytelling or poetry, fostering confidence, self-expression, and a sense of belonging in the museum.
Program dates: January through May
Registration opens early December
Free of cost, with bus scholarships available
Art+Story invites students in grades 3–6 to write original stories inspired by artworks in the collection.
Art+Rhyme invites students in grades 7–12 to explore poetry as a way to reflect on art and issues relevant to their lives in Los Angeles.
