Youth Makers SUMMERTIME Market - with Photo Booth 2022
For our 10th year we made a BIG effort with our Photo Booth, Wall of Fame and Silent Auction for Heaven Can Wait!
Three weeks of prop building and prepping for this event were probably the most fun in three weeks I've ever had... who knew I'd be making oversized art supply props for a kids art show.. but what a BLAST we had!
These kids finally got to work together, in person to create a single piece of art as a performance. Yes, it took me weeks to figure out the logistics, create the pieces and squeeze them into regular lessons to be painted ... in time for the show.. but TOTALLY WORTH IT!
