      Artful Bug Hotels

      Know before you go

      In-person event
      Location: Create Space Studios

      Included with admission

      Bug hotels are small containers with openings that allow insects to crawl inside and hide away from predators like birds. Why make a safe space for bugs? There are plenty of beneficial insects, like pollinating bees and pest-eating ladybugs, that help our world (and your garden) thrive!

      Regular Drop-in Art Making is held in person Friday–Sunday and holiday Mondays in our Create Space studios. Friday art making is recommended for ages 10 and up, while Saturday and Sunday activities are suitable for ages 4 and up. Activities are created and led by PEM’s Learning and Community Engagement team.
