JumpstART Stories & Art

Meet at Irving Arts Center on the first Thursday of each month for stories and art. You'll explore new stories and fun art projects during this creative story time that combines art and children’s literature. Create a take-home art project and then browse the galleries with your kids as part of this fun and free morning activity.
