In addition to fostering creativity, the event is aimed at allowing children to explore “messy” means of expression – outdoors, on city grounds, and with no cleanup required by families – via process-based arts and take home crafts according to event organizers.
Art in the Park is scheduled from 1-3 p.m. at Oak Hill Park in Danville on May 19. More information is available by contacting Recreation Superintendent Jessica Wallner at 925-314-3426 or jwallner@danville.ca.gov.
