Let the kids’ creativity run wild while capturing one of the most beloved critters of the Outer Banks at this special Art Party with a fun and enticing starfish theme. Orchestrated by the Dare County Arts Council in Manteo, this class is designed for kids of all ages, and will show students how to make their own starfish masterpiece to take home.

The Art Party is led by acclaimed artist and teacher Mari Beth LaRose, and during the two-hour session, students will be guided through all the steps required to create their own special starfish painting. By the end of the class, students will go home with a beautiful 11” x 14” painting that will serve as an unforgettable souvenir of their Outer Banks vacation. The class is open to both DCAC members and nonmembers, and the $30-$35 price includes all paints and supplies, as well as a snack and a beverage. Kids of all ages are welcome to attend, although kids who are under 6-years-old must be accompanied by an adult. With lots of instruction and plenty of creativity to go around, this special Wednesday afternoon art class will be a favorite event for kids who want to explore their artistic side, and create something beautiful and sea-worthy.
