February 1 Winter Art Carnival at The Creative at Klondike

On Saturday, February 1, The Creative at Klondike hosted a Winter Family Art Carnival featuring activities for both adults and children. Guests could try their hand at origami, tabletop printing, Picasso art projects, and other activities, including a community weaving project and a 2025 commemorative painting. The face painting tent and fantasy photo booth were popular attractions. Light refreshments were also served. The Creative at Klondike would like to thank everyone who attended the event; it was a fun evening for families.

The art carnival was so well received that The Creative decided to hold it again on Saturday, March 1. The cost is $5. Stop by and create a unique piece of art, learn a new skill, like origami or make a Picasso masterpiece. Check back for details at thecreativeatklondike.org.

The Creative at Klondike is an art center in Klondike Park and is located at 4600 S Hwy 94. For more upcoming events, click here.
