ART MURAL

We’re “Growing Tomorrow’s Artists Today” in our Community Art Garden!

RULES: Artists will place their artwork in the center of the flowers adorning the community center wall. 12” round white paper disks will be available for artists to create on the spot. Artists are also encouraged to bring premade 12”x12” pieces to add to the wall. All artwork should have name and phone number on the back if it is to be returned to the artist.

ACRYLIC PAINTING STATIONS

Create fun and unique river rocks to decorate your garden with or decorate your own 4” or 6” plastic flower pot with your choice of seeds to take home! Artists may also bring their own rocks or flowerpots to be painted. All supplies provided.

SUGAR ART

Take home your very own sugar cookie painted by you! Cookies come with linework, all you need to do fill in your coloring.

MESS-FREE COLORING STATION

Got a toddler who gets more on the table than the paper? Let them draw like the big kids using Crayola’s mess-free “markers” and paper.
