How it Works
An artist will introduce you to the parade theme by showing you the giant storyboard (a visual script).
You select a section of the parade to work on, find the artist in charge of that section, and set to work!
Artists will guide you.
You can either make your own creation which you can keep after the parade, or help with the larger parade floats.
Typically, you”'ll need 3 or 4 sessions to complete a project, but you can come to as many or as few as your schedule allows.
Other Details
Workshops are free, although donations are graciously accepted, always welcome, and much needed.
Children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult.
