Art in the Park—Weaving With Nature

FREE EVENT

Weave a story of your roots using natural materials! Drawing inspiration from the exhibition Dark the Night and Bright the Stars, we’ll explore identity and ancestry by weaving with twigs, leaves, yarn, and found objects. We’ll reflect on questions like: Where do I come from? What came before me? Our story this week is The Legend of Rock Paper Scissors—an epic (and hilarious) tale of origin stories and creative battles.

Each Thursday afternoon, families and community members are invited to enjoy a story read aloud followed by a hands-on art activity inspired by the book or a creative community theme. This free program welcomes all ages and experience levels. In case of rain or extreme heat, we’ll move indoors to the Paul J. Schupf Art Center.

Art in the Park is made possible by Kennebec Savings Bank, City of Waterville, Colby Center for the Arts and Humanities, and Central Maine Newspapers.

Presented by Waterville Creates in collaboration with the Waterville Public Library and the Colby College Museum of Art.
