Calling all young artists and creative families! Join us in the park for an outdoor art adventure like no other!

We’re turning nature into our inspiration and the great outdoors into our studio. Think paint-splattered smiles, mud-pie masterpieces, and creativity running wild!

What to expect:

Open-ended process art (translation: there’s no “wrong” way to create!)

Nature-inspired fun that lets YOUR child’s imagination take the lead

Plenty of exploration, experimentation, and extraordinary mess-making

What to bring:

Clothes you don’t mind decorating with paint, dirt, and memories

Your sense of adventure

A kid (or your inner kid) ready to CREATE!

No perfection required—just pure, joyful creativity! Let’s celebrate the process, not just the product.

See you at the park! 🌞✨
