About this Event
Let your tween’s creativity take center stage! In this fun, hands-on workshop, young artists will create a unique mixed-media portrait collage using photos, colorful papers, patterns, textures, and creative embellishments. We’ll explore portrait-making in a playful way while encouraging each artist to experiment, express their personality, and make the project truly their own. No prior art experience is needed — just bring your imagination and a willingness to have fun!
Suggested donation is $20, but all tweens are welcome regardless of ability to pay.
