Opposites Abstract Opening Party!

Join us for a colorful celebration of creativity, imagination, and fun!

The Taubman Museum of Art is proud to present a brand-new exhibition, Opposites Abstract: A Mo Willems Exhibit. Created by the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh in partnership with The Mo Willems Studio, this exhibition is based on the exploration of opposites in bestselling children’s book author and illustrator Mo Willems’ book, Opposites Abstract.

To celebrate, the Taubman Museum of Art is hosting a party!

Enjoy music from family-friendly indie-rock band, Einstein’s Monkey; paint a Mo Willem’s inspired Healing Ceiling Tile; and participate in story time sessions with Roanoke City Libraries, featuring stories by Mo Willems!

Exciting hands-on activity stations accompany the 20 paintings that make up the exhibition.

Admission to the Museum’s interactive art gallery, Art Venture, includes access to these exclusive interactives. In celebration of the art of story-telling, all participants who show their library card will receive free admission to Art Venture and the Mo Willems interactives for the Mo Willems Celebration Party event!
