School’s Out Art Day Oct 2

When school isn't in session, it's time to let imaginations run wild. The usual hum of lessons is replaced with laughter, music, and the gentle scratch of paintbrushes on canvas. Students of all ages can try everything from watercolor painting and clay sculpting to chalk art and group mural painting on large sheets of butcher paper. There could be a face painting corner and a craft zone full of beads and yarn. The day is all about freedom of expression—no grades, just art.
