Messy Masterpieces

Grades K-5. Smear, squish, and squeegee! In this messy art lab, explore painting with "everything but a brush." If you love textured art that pops off the page, this is for you. Mix fluffy puffy paint, stamp funky patterns with found objects, and swoosh paint with handmade squeegees to make one-of-a-kind abstract art!

Most classes include sliding-fee options designed to provide financial flexibility for community members who may need support in order to participate. We encourage participants to choose the amount they are able to pay. This model helps ensure our programs remain financially sustainable while also promoting equity and increasing accessibility for all members of our community.
