        Mini Masterpieces starts next week

        Next week, we launch a new series of art workshops developed for preschoolers and their parents. These workshops aim to foster artistic confidence in children with a focus on building basic art skills and introducing children to new art forms. Join us for the following workshops with local artists. No registration required.

        Please note: Fingerprint Art has been replaced by Art with Kitties and Paper Critters on Nov. 3 and Nov. 8, and Shadow Puppet Storytelling on Nov. 16 and Nov. 21 due to scheduling conflicts.
