What do you think aliens look like? Create your own out-of-this-world creature using recycled craft materials and imagination!

Is there life beyond Earth? If so, what might it look like? A tiny green visitor, a many-legged space bug, or something no one has ever imagined before? Join us for Alien Art and let your creativity travel across the galaxy as you design and build your very own unique alien creature.

Using empty tissue boxes as the base for your alien body, participants will transform recycled and leftover craft materials into imaginative extraterrestrial creations complete with arms, legs, antennae, eyes, and more. This hands-on craft program encourages creativity, problem-solving, and artistic expression while giving new life to unused supplies from previous programs.

Come ready to invent, build, and take home an alien that is truly one of a kind!

Registration is required. Families registering multiple children should register each participant separately.
