Art

In hopes for more peace and to honor all those affected by this week's violence, Dot Art teachers, volunteers and children will be painting a giant banner for the community this weekend. Come pick up a brush, mix some paint or help us grommet. Using our hands and hearts can really help to heal. Today (Saturday April 20) and tomorrow (Sunday April 21) we will paint from 1pm to 5 pm down at Savin Hill Beach near the Playground an Ballfield.
