Garden Art Fling at the Flux Arts Building, April 5

Explore the vital role of bees, butterflies, and other pollinators through science education, art and connect with the community as we celebrate the beauty of blooms and nature.

Join the Garden Art Fling at The Flux on April 5th from 10a-6p at the Flux Arts Building and Art to Change the World (ACW) headquarters, 699 NE Lowry Avenue. This vibrant event will showcase a lively mix of music, story telling, and art vendors, including an art show featuring 8 x 8 artistic creations from ACW members, all available for purchase.

There will be several hands-on activities including mosaic stepping stones at Clay Squared to Infinity, “Butterfly Baths” at the Clay Squared Gallery and “Pollinator Palaces” at the ACW headquarters.

Pollinators are essential to the world’s food and flowers, and their importance reminds us of how we too are better together. This event is a powerful reminder of how nature and the arts come together to inspire! 

The event includes: 

  • Scavenger Hunt (how many fairy doors, make laminated fairy bookmarks)
  • Build You Own Bee Palace
  • Pollinator Kiosk
  • Photos with Butterfly wings made of bottle caps by Kelly Frankenberg
  • Pollinator Mini Show (8 x 8 paintings)
