Join us for an interactive, all-ages, family-friendly, HervƩ Tullet-inspired art experience!


We'll play a fun art game from Tullet's book Art Workshops for Children, where we make art to spark creativity rather than waiting for creativity to make art. It's a lot of fun for both kids and adults.


All ages welcome. Registration is required.
