Know before you go
In-person
Location: Create Space Studios
Included with admission.
Recommended for ages 4+
Celebrate Earth Month with a bold and whimsical hands-on art activity. Use a special hand-made puffy paint to turn paper plates into your own textured, three-dimensional Earth and reflect on its beauty, its vulnerability and our ways to protect it.
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 weekend and holiday activities are suitable for ages 4 and up. Activities are created and led by PEM art educators.
