Bring your inner creature to life.
This drop-in whimsical and imaginative art program invites participants to explore creatures from mythology, folklore, fantasy and their imagination. Participants will create monsters, guardians or spirit companions using drawing, mixed media, or collage.
Whether inspired by dragons, shapeshifters, tricksters, or protective familiars, this program encourages playful and symbolic creativity. It's perfect for anyone who loves mythology, speculative fiction, or surreal illustration. No prior drawing experience needed, just curiosity and a sense of adventure.
