Artistically inclined kids can enjoy a little indoor fun and create their own masterpiece at this special Kids Art Party that’s hosted by the Dare County Arts Council in the heart of Manteo.

During this special Wednesday afternoon session, the Art Party will be hosted by local artist Mari Beth LaRose, who will teach students the step by step process of using their paints and imagination to create something amazing. By the end of the two hour class, students will have created an eye-catching 11” x 14” painting of a cuddly koala bear, and will have picked up a myriad of artistic techniques along the way. Held at the Dare County Arts Council center on Roanoke Island, this class serves as a fantastic opportunity to discover the local arts scene while enjoying a little active fun out of the sun. The cost is $30 for DCAC members and $35 for nonmembers, and the price includes all supplies, as well as a light snack and a drink. The class is open to children of all ages, and kids ages 6 and up can attend without an adult present. Open to everyone, this class is sure to be a favorite experience for all artistic OBX visitors.
