Join us for a family-friendly art workshop in partnership with the Western Lights Festival, where creativity glows! In this hands-on experience, participants of all ages will design and create their very own glow-in-the-dark bracelet, mask, or button using special glow-in-the-dark paint.
Families can choose their project and personalize it with bold patterns, playful designs, and imaginative details. As participants paint, they’ll explore how glowing materials react to light and darkness—perfectly echoing the luminous spirit of the festival. 

This workshop is designed to be welcoming and easy for all skill levels, encouraging kids and adults to create side by side. Finished artworks can be worn and enjoyed during the festival and taken home as a glowing keepsake of the experience.

Drop in, get creative, and light up the night together at the Western Lights Festival. All materials are provided and there will be black lights available to charge your projects before exploring the festival.
