Join us for a celebration of books and art in front of the Museum including family-friendly art making activities, children’s book reading, and a used book sale sponsored by The San Diego Museum of Art docents. Experience awe and wonder by creating an artwork using simple geometry, pencils, and tools of precision (a compass and ruler) to design your unique birthdate star marker. The star marker depicts your birthdate and corresponding constellation. Come to browse and purchase books for your collection, or come for a moment of quiet reading in front of the Museum.

*All proceeds from the used book sale benefit future Museum programming. Cash and card accepted.
