Lego Club
Wednesday, April 8 @ 4:00 p.m. or 5:10 p.m.
For ages 5 & up! Drop by the meeting room to dig into our impressive Lego stash during our monthly free-build session. The glass case by Kora’s office will feature some of your newest Lego builds for everyone to view in between build sessions.
*Please note, we are adding a second time in the hopes of balancing attendance between two sessions. For this reason, we ask that attendees choose one session or the other, not both. Thank you.

Art Lab for Teens & Tweens – Blackout Poetry
Wednesday, April 15 @ 4 p.m.
Teens and tweens in grades 5-12 are invited to explore artmaking! Each month we will try a new technique – all supplies are provided! Artists can also bring their current projects and co-create with us.
April is National Poetry Month – come make Blackout Poetry, using old book pages to create short impactful poems by isolating words and using art to obscure the rest of the text!
