Open Art at The District
Calling all budding Picassos and creative minds! This July, Van Aken District is thrilled to host Open Art at the District, a free, weekly program designed to spark children’s imaginations and nurture their artistic talents.
Join us Tuesdays and Fridays throughout July (July 10, 13, 17, 20, 24, 27) at Living Room Park (where the rocks are) for an afternoon of artistic fun. Led by the talented Instructor Keith Nagy, these sessions will provide children and families with all the necessary art supplies (crayons, colored pencils, markers, and 11×17 paper sheets) to create their masterpieces.
Works of art will be displayed in the Market Hall throughout the summer!
