Calling all adults! Participate in our Little Art Show and share your talent. Stop by to register, discuss details, and pick up supplies in person Sept. 1, 3-8 pm while they last.

Display your artistic talents in our Little Art Show! So many talented people live in our community. We would love to showcase your talent in our Little Art Show at the following locations: Ellet, Firestone Park, Goodyear, and Springfield-Lakemore.
