Concept

Sound the sirens and grab your glue—this week is all about everyday heroes who keep our world safe and strong! In this hands-on, playful workshop, we dive into the colorful world of community helpers through storytelling, movement, and artmaking. We build bright red fire trucks with rolling wheels, collage daring helicopter rescues with painted skies and swirling clouds, and craft shiny police badges from foil, markers, and ribbon. Inspired by snowy slopes, we design wild skis and snowboards with bold shapes and imaginative patterns. Stepping into the wild with a real park ranger, we create magical mini dioramas filled with trees, animals, and ranger cabins. With visits from real-life heroes and a week full of fun surprises, we let our creativity shine as we celebrate the helpers who make our world a better place. Bring your imagination—this week, art comes to the rescue!

Join for a single day or the whole week! Bugs and Birds: Life Below and Above! From the tiniest beetle tunneling underground to the highest hawk circling overhead, this week takes young artists on a journey through every layer of life on Earth. We start low, sculpting clay bugs and building tiny dioramas of the hidden world beneath the rug, in the dirt, and under fallen logs. Then we climb upward, painting layered skyscapes and crafting birds, bats, and bugs that take to the air. Along the way, we study real creatures- their shapes, colors, and camouflage - and use them as inspiration for our own imaginative critters. By the end of the week, we’ve built a whole ecosystem of artwork from the ground up to the clouds! REGISTRATION: If you are interested in registering for single days, please reach out to our Registration Department at [email protected] or call 970-924-5089.
