Get into the film festival theme to create a 9-foot communal weaving with artist Bobbie Tilkens-Fisher! Bring old clothes and fabric to add to our woven masterpiece. For more info on Bobbie, click here.

Staff from the Waterville Public Library will be there for a read aloud of The Nest That Wren Built by Randi Sonenshine.

Art in the Park is run by Waterville Creates with Waterville area partner organizations. Each Thursday afternoon, families and community members are invited to enjoy a story read aloud followed by a hands-on art activity inspired by the book or a creative community theme. This free program welcomes all ages and experience levels. In case of rain or extreme heat, we’ll move indoors to the Paul J. Schupf Art Center.

The Summer Reading theme is Plant a Seed, Read.

Art in the Park is sponsored by Kennebec Savings Bank, City of Waterville, Harold Alfond Foundation, and Allen Insurance.
