Families are invited to take part in a collective craft activity with a professional artist, based on a concept developed by the École d'art de Sutton. French- and English-speaking families can insert personalized papers (drawings, words, colors) into a vertical chicken-wire grid to create a colorful and joyful pattern. Guided by a color scheme, each participant contributes to a collective artwork that radiates energy and positivity to everyone who sees it. Markers, crayons, stickers, and other materials will be provided.
