It's a 1st Thursday double feature! 🤩
On September 3rd, we’re kicking off our First Thursdays with two creative hangouts happening at the same time!

🎨 Arty Party | Ages 4–12
A monthly creative free-for-all where kids can make, explore, and try something new. With projects and materials provided, they can follow along with a guided activity or take their own ideas in whatever direction they want.

✏Teen Art Club | Ages 13+
An open studio made for teens who want to hang out and make art with their friends. There's no structure - just a space to create without judgment or pressure.

➡️ Both happen 5:30–7PM in different rooms at DAL.
🔗Details here: https://tinyurl.com/4nf9bypm

*Pre-registration is not required for either event.
