In that same spirit, The Constellation Bench imagines the city as a network of people, memories, languages, and journeys—linked across difference.Nebulae are places where stars are born from dust and fragments. This gathering extends that idea into public space, envisioning it as a site where encounters, stories, and communities emerge from many small pieces coming together.Cosmic Story Time is an intergenerational reading and gathering series centered around The Constellation Bench. Families, seniors, neighbors, and visitors are invited to bring books, stories, or poems they wish to share. A selection of books chosen by the artist, aligned with the sculpture’s themes, will also be available.Each session will include short readings, open conversation, imaginative exchange, reflections on cities, ecology, and belonging, and quiet collective moments under the “constellation” of the sculpture. The project encourages community exchange, informal learning, and public space as a welcoming environment for all ages. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/newark/cosmic-story-time-x-constellation-bench-featuring-le-petit-prince/100001990191575577 - **Event Categories**: art, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: Mulberry Commons - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Newark - **state**: NJ - **country**: United States - **location**: Mulberry Commons - **lat**: 40.7331029 - **long**: -74.16918729999999 - **full address**: Mulberry Commons, Mulberry Street, Newark, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Cosmic Story Time x Constellation Bench | Featuring Le Petit Prince - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/f31b6762330caacf6fdb0f4ac906a7e1c4bb981b286c38a1636d0ba1227347e1-rimg-w1200-h600-dc13a5db-gmir.jpg?v=1780236549 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Cosmic Story Time x Constellation Bench | Featuring Le Petit Prince being held? - **A:** Cosmic Story Time x Constellation Bench | Featuring Le Petit Prince takes place on Sat, 20 Jun, 2026 at 01:00 pm to Sat, 20 Jun, 2026 at 02:00 pm at Mulberry Commons, Mulberry Street, Newark, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Cosmic Story Time x Constellation Bench | Featuring Le Petit Prince? - **A:** Cosmic Story Time x Constellation Bench | Featuring Le Petit Prince is organized by Project For Empty Space. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
