Bring yourself, your kids, and anyone else that likes to do crafty things. We are hosting the last monthly Big Read art project in the Art Gallery from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
We’re making peacock fans. So, I guess we will be “struttin’ like peacocks!” Ava and staff will be on hand to instruct how to make these fun peacocks. We have lots of pretty papers to choose from.
The peacock is a symbol of eternal life in the middle east. They believed that the flesh of a peacock did not decay after death and they painted peacocks in peoples tombs. The “eye” in the feather represents the “seeing eye of god.”
Join us while we create beautiful — and functional — folded Peacock fans. With this craft, participants can manually fold and unfold the peacock’s shimmery train feathers. Free.
This month’s art event is recommended for all ages!
The Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.
