Is your teen always doodling, making messes and creating stuff? They are an artist! Teen club provides an opportunity for young artists to be among their peers and try new art forms. Much of what we explore is based upon student interest, the first session includes a discussion of what the group would like to explore.

Friday October 2nd * 6:00pm - 8:00pm

Get into the spooky spirit by handbuilding a whimsical ceramic potion bottle using a slab template. Add texture, stamps, sculpted details, or decorative decals to make it your own.

Attend the reception for artist Alisa Clark's solo exhibition, The Inner YES, in the gallery, then take the family to the Youth Studio to create some art inspired by Alisa's work. 

Art Together invites families to experience art in a new way through guided gallery visits and hands-on creative activities. For many participants, this may be their first experience visiting a professional art gallery. While some families regularly engage with the arts, others may find gallery spaces intimidating or unfamiliar. This program was intentionally created to ensure every family feels comfortable, welcomed, and inspired.

This Family Fun time is free to the public, but registration is encouraged. All are welcome, but activities are geared towards families with children 10 and under.

This event is sponsored by Kiwanis Club of Adrian, The Sigmund Foundation and Adrian Noon Rotary Club.
