Kids Galaxy Glow Canvas Painting Party
- Paint, dot, spatter, smear a galactic masterpiece in this fun morning painting workshop! Young artists will each receive an 11 by 14 (or similar dimensions) black canvas they can painting with both standard acrylic paint as well as awesome black light reactive paint! After painting, we’ll turn the lights out and shine special black light flashlights (that artists will get to keep) on their artwork.
- As there is always the potential for messes, please dress your little artists accordingly.

There and Back Again: A Magical Clay Door Workshop
