Summer 2020
Join us for FOUR virtual art-making sessions with Blueberry from Blueberry's Clubhouse! Blueberry will be joined by Arts Integration Services teaching artist Elly Bates to lead kids in making hand puppets, stick puppets, clubhouse decorations, and a puppet stage! Kids can create their own puppet play on their stage and share for all to see! In addition to the cool art projects, you can engage your kids (and their puppets) in conversations about everything from life stages to working through stage fright. This is a great opportunity for you and your kids to bond during these hot summer afternoons!
Winter 2020-2021
AIS Teaching Artists Equilla Walker and Aida Ayers celebrate the accomplishments of African-American female scientists. In partnership with Museum of Discover, this arts opportunity is completely free thanks to generous funding from the Arkansas Arts Council.
Spring 2021
AIS partners with Audubon Arkansas to bring you The Great Field Guide Exchange. AIS teaching artist Elly Bates creates four virtual sessions that will lead your family to create a field guide for one of your favorite natural spaces. You will then exchange this field guide to experience a new natural space through the lens of another family. We are currently in the planning stages for this one, but we will announce more details soon.
