Unleash your creativity in our all-ages art class at the park! With a new theme each session, participants will explore different artistic styles, techniques, and materials in a fun and welcoming environment. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, this class offers a chance to express yourself, connect with others, and create something special. Best of all, you’ll take home a beautifully crafted piece of art after each session to cherish or share!

While free to attend, registration is required. Registration opens 2 weeks in advance at 12:00 pm, limit 2 tickets per order. 

Custom Sneakers

Join us for this hands-on workshop to bring life to an old pair of sneakers that need an artist’s touch, some uplifting and love! Participants will have time to brainstorm some unique ways to customize their sneakers, then dive right into a mixed media process using paints, charms and other neat and unique add-ons. Participants must bring a pair of sneakers or shoes that need uplifting and we’ll provide the rest!
