Community Events

Art Activities at Community Events are held throughout the year to enrich local events and provide free opportunities for people of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels to create art that correspond to the event theme. Often in partnership with other community agencies who mount major events, we work with professional artists and a large number of volunteers to offer free art activities.
