This free event will feature great make-and-takes, fun games, a scavenger hunt and some snacks to nibble on in between. 

There will be an artistic selfie station to help memorialize each guest’s visit. Visitors can take a tour of the brand new classrooms, watch artist demos, talk with ArtFusion instructors, and sign up for a great fall class.

There will also be an opportunity to become part of the new space by creating a tile for their donor wall. Each $100 donation is a 4"x4" blank tile, ready for a creative touch. 

Pottery Studio Director Kristen VonHohen will be on hand to guide the painting of each tile.
