In partnership with US Bank, DuMA presents Movie At The Museum with a screening of “Toy Story”. Bring a blanket, grab some popcorn and settle in with family & friends to watch a free movie at Washington Park.
Toy Story (1995) 1h, 21 minutes
Woody (Tom Hanks), a good-hearted cowboy doll who belongs to a young boy named Andy (John Morris), sees his position as Andy’s favorite toy jeopardized when his parents buy him a Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) action figure. Even worse, the arrogant Buzz thinks he’s a real spaceman on a mission to return to his home planet. When Andy’s family moves to a new house, Woody and Buzz must escape the clutches of maladjusted neighbor Sid Phillips (Erik von Detten) and reunite with their boy.
Join a movement! Slow Art Day is an international event encouraging people of all ages to visit museums and to look at art slowly.
Why?
To break out of your typical “go, go, go” routine.
To learn about yourself, fellow participants, & the creative expressions of artists.
To make discoveries about and forge connections with artwork.
Participants are encouraged to examine at least five works of art for 10 minutes each and then talk, write or post to social media about their experience. Simple by design, the goal is to focus on the art and the art of seeing.
Don’t worry, museum staff will be present to provide you with artwork suggestions and questions to consider!
