Create & Imagine! Artful Story Hour

Every first Saturday of the month, dive into a themed story and craft, all while surrounded by the colorful artworks at the Powers Art Center. No registration required!

This camp will be held at the Basalt Library
Grades 3 + (2026/2027 school year)

Write and illustrate your own story—then launch it into an adventure! You’ll dream up a hero (you, or a character from your imagination), build a whole new world, and send your story off on an epic journey. Create a comedy, a mystery, or a magical quest—travel from fairy tales to knights in shining armor, from the ocean to the mountains, and everywhere in between. You’ll sketch characters, design settings, and bring your tale to life with words, drawings, and lots of imagination. By the end, you’ll have a storybook that’s completely yours—the story of your dreams!

Explore the beauty of the natural world. Dive into hands-on projects sparked by the colors, patterns, and textures of nature—from plants and animals to mountains, rivers, and skies. Throughout the week, you’ll experiment with fun techniques like painting, collage, printmaking, and mixed media as you create one-of-a-kind artworks such as botanical prints. Come ready to explore, get a little messy, and bring home a collection of nature-inspired masterpieces!
