Join us for a 4 week artistic adventure exploring the animals native to our Western Slope environment with art and activities! Through an artistic lens, young artists will discover the habitats, movements, and unique traits of local wildlife, turning their observations into creative expression. Using recycled materials, they’ll create paper-mache animal masks that reflect their own personalities, natural salt dough animal figures, and assembled critter homes! Alongside hands-on projects, movement games, and collaborative activities, artists will have plenty of opportunities to express their creativity in a fun, supportive environment.
