Program Offerings

NEW! The Creators Club

Due to popular demand, our Family Art Nights are expanding into a new series called The Creators Club! Each month, the club will meet for a standalone art workshop. Some workshops will be for beginner artists, called Curious Crafters; others will be for more advanced artists, called Master Makers. ALL of the workshops are all-abilities, meaning anyone in the Eagle Mount community can participate! Simply choose the group that corresponds with your comfortable artistic skill level. Eagle Mount participants and their siblings, family members, and friends are welcome.
