Community Art Project

Please stop by the lobby to paint a flower or owl for our community art project in honor of Welcoming Week!  We'll be using canvas templates, markers, and paint pens, so this is not a messy, difficult, or time-consuming project to contribute to.

Bollywood Dance Workshop

Bollywood dancing is an expressive fusion of many different dance forms like bhangra, jazz, hip-hop and kathak, which is often seen in popular Bollywood movies. Dancing can distract you from your negative thoughts and helps you focus on the present. It also improves balance, strength, and has a social component as well.

Naina Goel is the founder and director of Dance4Ever, and is a versatile and accomplished dancer trained by the legendary Saroj Khan.

Create a Decoupage Box! (GR 6+)

Meet us at EB Create and design your own decoupage box. Decoupage is a craft technique in which the artist attaches paper decorations to a hard surface with a clear drying glue. Some people call decoupage "painting with paper," because once the design is dry they can truly look painted on!

An example of a decoupage is pictured. Keep in mind that it does not have to have a floral pattern. We will have paper in all colors and designs so that you can express your own personal style.
