Family Day with Artist and Author Dana Rau

Imagine, Write, Create!

Led by author and artist Dana Rau

September 13  I 1:30pm

It’s not every day your child gets to play word games with a published children’s book author. Dana Rau brings a fun, hands-on approach to writing and art games, sparking creativity and curiosity in kids of all ages. Through a series of imaginative activities, kids will explore storytelling and art—and enjoy the thrill of creating together while making something truly their own.

Whether your child loves words, pictures, or just wants to try something new, they’ll leave feeling inspired about what they've created and excited to keep exploring. Mark your calendar and join the fun!
