Explore colors, textures, and new ways to painting in this hands on, often messy, painting program. Absolutely no paintbrushes allowed! Recommended for children ages 0-5.

In this program we will work on various process art projects. From painting with car wheels to splattering with sponges we'll be making very messy artworks. Aprons will be provided but it is highly recommended to wear clothing you don't mind getting painted.
